My name is KURDISTAN and I WILL be FREE

[Anthea]

Beware

Beware destroyer of my nation
Enemy of my friends
Stealer of my minerals
Killer of my people
Sleep not easy in your bed tonight
For I am coming
Down from the mountains
and up from the valleys
I am coming
From the four corners of the earth
I am coming
My name is KURDISTAN
and I WILL be FREE

[Anthea]

1 Kurd

1 Kurd sits and thinks
2 Kurds sit and talk
10 Kurds form a committee
100 Kurds hold a meeting
1,000 Kurds have a protest march
1 million Kurds obtain international support
10 million Kurds would Free Kurdistan

My name is KURDISTAN
and I WILL be FREE

[kardox]

Thank you

[Anthea]

My heart aflame

My heart aflame with passion
so strong is my desire
My rivers will run with blood
my skies light up with fire
My strength is in my people
and they are many fold
They all have a pride in me
and fists up high they hold
None will ever keep me down
and stop me being free
When my people rise up high
all from us will flee

My name is KURDISTAN
and I WILL be FREE

[Anthea]

A Tiny Ant

A tiny ant walks past
you notice it not
a million ants walk past
and the ground moves before you

A single bird flies overhead
you notice it not
a million birds fly overhead
and the very sky is darkened

A single Kurd cries out
you notice it not
a million Kurds cry out
and the world awakens

My name is KURDISTAN
and I WILL be FREE

[Anthea]

Look in the mirror

Look in the mirror
and who do you see
You see a proud Kurd
who wants to be free

You see a man
of a nation destroyed
Time is long past
you should be annoyed

You must break from
from the chains that do bind
You must unite
with others of your kind

Awaken people
and keep quiet no more
Stand up for the nation
and land you adore

My name is KURDISTAN
And I WILL be FREE

[Anthea]

My people are my children
alone and sometimes lost
Long years they have suffered
and now they count the cost
So many of my people
have been tortured and have died
So many poor mothers
have sat alone and cried
The time has come my people
for there to be a change
Now is the time to stand up
your lives to rearrange
My people must unite
to remove invaders from within
If they all work together
I know that they will WIN

My name is KURDISTAN
And I WILL be FREE

[Anthea]

Sweet Kurdistan
the love of my life
as important to me
as my children and wife

Sweet Kurdistan
brings joy to my heart
I'll never be happy
while we are apart

Sweet Kurdistan
the best place to be
and I will not rest
until it is set FREE

[Anthea]

My name is KURDISTAN
Forget me NOT
For I am coming
And I WILL be FREE

We must stand as ONE
UNITE as ONE
ONE great KURDISH nation
For all the world to see

We do not need a gun to fight
we can fight with our pens
with our voices
with our songs
with our poems
with our every actions
with our hearts
and with our very souls

We are not only fighting for ourselves
We are fighting to ensure that
OUR children and
OUR children's children
for generations yet to come
have a country to call
KURDISTAN

We are fighting for the very survival
of the KURDISH NATION

We are fighting for all those
who have fought and died in the past
for their beloved KURDISTAN

We are fighting for all
those tortured
those imprisoned
those murdered
those who disappeared
never to be seen again
All those mothers
who sit and weep
for the loss of a child
All those who have
lost a loved one
lost family or friends

We are fighting for the memory
of the millions who have gone before
and whose passing must
NEVER be forgotten

My name is KURDISTAN
Forget me NOT
For I am coming
And I WILL be FREE

[Anthea]

Kurds divided, torn apart
Devoid of culture, broke of heart
This should never ever be
We are Kurdish set us FREE

Being Kurdish should be fun
For mother, daughter, father, son
If you are Kurdish shout aloud
I AM KURDISH, I AM PROUD

good poems, do you write them yourself?

[Anthea]

good poems, do you write them yourself?

Thank you YES I used to write lots of poems and now I am trying to write a SHORT history of the Kurds - trouble is that it keeps getting longer

I need something that we can put on leaflets and hand out to people

[purearch72]

Very nice, if I remeber correctly you said you were a teacher in England?

[Anthea]

Very nice, if I remeber correctly you said you were a teacher in England?

Thank you

Yes I am a teacher, I used to teach refugees English and IT and still do but to individuals rather than groups

I used to have students living with me but since I moved I do not have enough room

Several years ago I was involved with Kurdish community centres and used to go to Kurdish weddings and parties

I have had Kurdish friends for more than 30 years - probably since before you were born

I had an accident and do not do very much any more

I am more of a sit at home chocolate eater than a teacher now
