The graceful arches And proud towers Guard the intricate tiles Of the ancient buildings In this arid place The blue tiles Recall the fountains of Paradise And yet... These monuments were built To honor an ideology Whose only form of decoration Is now blood and shattered bodies. How ironic That this beauty can exist In a place of such ugliness.

A thing of beauty,
I'll never be
My only out,
Is to keep being me.
