Deadly Corridor

People begged their mountains to help them,
To save their kids from the beastly warrior.
They fled their homes to only be condemned
To passing through the foe’s open corridor.

On exit, standing still behind the trees,
With loaded guns and firmly taking aim,
There was a band of so called “Fedayis” –
Guerrillas with a stolen Persian name.

Genetic incompatibility
Again calls up for a final solution.
The neighbour’s hatred and hostility
Produced the corridor for execution.

They were firing until the place was purged
Of the entire families embraced in last hugs.
A maniac and a butcher had emerged
From the already sickly psyches of the thugs.

As if black snowdrops on the thawing snow,
More than six hundred mutilated bodies
Grew in a grim act of the devil's show.
Alas, she did not hear them, the mount goddess…

And even strong men wept while holding tight
The tiny children’s bodies in their hands.
Black Garden’s calling upon them to fight,
And to destroy those monstrous evil bands!

Stop lying to the world and to yourselves
That the corridor was “humanitarian”.
The lie in which the liar yet excels
To wage a war that’s foul and barbarian.

Repentance is the only way to bring
The truth onto your conscience’ monitors.
The other choice is cursing the offspring
To walk through endless, deadly corridors.
