I Am Sorry, Innocent Child of the Earth!

From Talin V Sahakian

An animal who realized what is about to happen begs so helplessly and with tears not to be killed.

For me, this was one of the bitterest scenes filmed on Eid al-Adha this year. An animal that realized what is about to happen and is begging so helplessly and with tears not to be killed.

I am sorry, the innocent child of the earth! We are sorry that you were killed so innocently! Sorry you were born into slavery! We are sorry that you tolerated that horror and pain and that your blood was spilled so unmanly on the ground! Sorry we can't save you and the other children from these parasites and bigots! Shame on our fellow species who take only one face and body from human beings and are ready to use any empty excuse and argument to justify your killing and even show morality and beauty. The people who named these crimes close to God...

People who think you and the likes of you are just created to use them...

The people who think they are noble because they can do it.

People who wait with a machine, to hear the sound of a broken-hearted cucumber and to see the caressing of one wheat by another, but they don't see your fear, they don't hear your cry of begging...

People who have voluntarily become blind and deaf...

The people who are on the way to the swamps of destruction with the flood of collective ignorance and how fast they go...

People who are trying to silence the voice of truth for theft and money...

Empty humans who have made the earth such a hell and ashamed us of being human beings.

We are sorry. Forgive us innocent child of the earth! That life and death were not your right!...

Forgive us
O innocent child of the earth!
Shame on us
There is no end
And the Indulgence
As much as you fear
It's big
And with a grudge
Like the wound in your cut throat
Deep!

The look of the hereafter,
Begging for your pain
A bitter desire
It is our shame.
And we are ashamed of this
There is no way out!
The blood that has been shed by you
The witness is hot
That man is still
To the blind roads of civilization
It's not even close
And on the pain of human ignorance
If we cry blood, it is okay...
If we cry blood, it is okay...
