Apr 18 - PROTagonists' ESTeem

The atrocities committed against the Armenian people of the Ottoman Empire during WWI are called the Armenian Genocide.

 

--

MY soul is listening to the death of the twilight.

Kneeling on the far-away soil of suffering, my

soul is drinking the wounds of twilight and of

the ground; and within itself it feels the raining down of tears.

 

 

And all the stars of slaughtered lives, so like to

eyes grown dim, in the pools of my heart this

evening are dying of despair and of waiting.

 

And the ghosts of all the dead to-night will wait

for the dawn with mine eyes and my soul. Perhaps, to satisfy their thirst for life, a drop of light will fall upon them from on high.
