Fallah - sorayaf40@yahoo.com
(Translation from Kurdish to
English):
Soraya
A prepared & proper size stone (echo)
a proper/ prepared size stone
Not too small where there isn’t enough pain
And not so large where the blow is final
One stone, two stones, hundred and thousand stones
One stone, two stones, hundred and thousand stones
Your life is hanging on someone’s suspicion (echo)
I could feel the blow of each stone
Coming over my skull
One stone, two stones, hundred and thousand stones
Based on restriction
Based on restriction
It is based on "Hudud
"(one of four categories of punishment in Islamic Penal Law)
(Omeed’s part)
buried up to my neck in the ground
I can feel them stones them stones them pounding
down
first rock, then 100 more
crushed, beaten, bruised to my core
stones of the right shape and size
like the solidified tears in my eyes
modern day crucifixion
tell me to listen
to propaganda and fiction
divine mission
death wishin
feelin repercussions of the strength of my
convictions
Soraya

In the land where you and I were born
Being sent to be stoned is easy
Assisted by the laws
Your life is hanging on someone’s suspicion
Depends on suspicion, Depends on suspicion.
