In Memory XIV The Holy Month of Ramadan

In Memory XIV

In the Holy Month of Ramadan
In the Week before the Celebration of Eid al-Fitr
In the Year Two Thousand Sixteen
In an airport in Istanbul, Turkey
In a bakery in Dhaka, Bangladesh
In Baghdad, Iraq, at public gatherings to break the Daily Fast
In the Holy City of Medina, Saudi Arabia

In the Holy Month of Ramadan
Muslim on Muslim Violence
Too many deaths
Too many tears
Too much pain

In the Holy Month of Ramadan
Sadness beyond words
The innocent lives of young and old stolen by human IEDs
Bodies blown apart
Families devastated by violence and death

Following the Holy Month of Ramadan
Let us honor their memories
Let us find a way to peace
