CHILDREN OF PAIN AND SORROW

These faceless or defaced children in Zohreh Khaleghi's painting, dedicated to New Orleans Children Hospital, are standing in front of nocturnal back drop , covered in bloody dress and silently screaming in deep desperation. No one is to hear them in far-flung days and night . No one left in history to listen to them nor witnessing their misery. You call then children of pain and sorrow . They have no game to play. They are games to be played upon by ruthless, slave takers, blood thirsty patriarchs , coming from hell , looking like devils or their version in contemporary era with unheard names which is the namesake of Killers. I mean Killers , with capital K...what else there is to howl in this vast wilderness. How much longer to cry ?! O Shakespearean men and women of dark ages !
