Man Smells Rose and Blood
Man smells rose
Smile on his face
Fragrance is pleasing
Man calls children and wife
Joining in
How beautiful the rose
Cultivated with bare hands
Family is pleased
Smelling roses in the air
Man smells blood
Tears run down
Heart is broken
Sickening smell
All over the town
The air is thick
Cannot breath
Man falls to his knees
Why kill my family
In the name of whatever you believe?
Where is my fragrant rose?
Where is my family?
Syria, Iraq, South Sudan
Other countries of the world
You are smelling blood
Wake up
Grow roses
Give happiness
To fellow men
Man smells rose
Smile on his face
Happiness and peace in the land

I woke up with the beautiful fragrance of roses passing through our bedroom window by the backyard garden. I peaked out the window seeing that our roses are in full broom.
I feel so fresh and happy. I would like to share this happiness with others, especially in the countries that are in crisis right now such as Syria, Iraq, Ukraine and many countries in Asia and Africa.
“Man smells rose” came to mind. I hurried to open my computer and composed the verses above. I showed this to John. He liked my writing. I am always grateful for his help to correct my writing.
The following are the pictures of roses that I took from our garden during the month of June 2014:
