15 years of Iraq War
15 years ago today, Iraq was invaded, and tens of thousands of bombs were dropped on to millions of innocent people in Iraq.
Even today bombs have been being dropped and gun fires never stops in Iraq.
The below is my tanka poem I wrote on March 20, 2003.
Somewhere on the earth
Is bombed hard this morning
Here as usual in
All innocence my dog nags
Me to take him for a walk
The dog was one year old at that time, and passed away a few years ago. I wanted to walk with him in the world where no place was bombed. Or is it possible some day?

The tanka poem is from "Flowers and Bombs" by Kaoru Kobashi published in 2004
