An ode to the Iraqi Mother
How many times were your homes raided? How many times did you have to comfort us while being surrounded by these monsters?
Only a few years into the genocidal US led war on Iraq 11% of the women were widowed. Millions of women had to find ways to provide for whole families in a war torn nation.
How many wombs were contaminated by their depleted uranium?
Dear mothers,
It is your strength that made us survive the insufferable circumstances. And it is your love and strength that will make the wounds of this nation heal.
