Tree of Life



We were born on the ladder of bone

in the tenth generation of sorrow

Peace was promised again and again

until even grief was broken

on the wheel of the sun

Moon and sun with no tomorrow

on the ladder of blood and bone

in the tenth generation of sorrow


 
-Ghodi (translated from Dari by Jacob Freeze in Mazar-i-Sharif 2010)
