I married a song. I did this secretly for about five years.
When I heard it, the sun was setting, and I was in a heavenly expanse of an old house with milk-colored walls. I knew from the first beat that it was her, the song of my life. I only hesitated a little, and because I had never heard before about a legal ruling or a moral reason that prevents a woman from marrying a song, I made up my mind and married her.
Every night I put two headphones in my ears, and Yas Khader sings to me “Han wa Ana Ahn.” I adjust the tremors of my soul to the tremors of the sad Iraqi melody, and I drink Yas’s voice through all my pores. The song cauterizes my heart, and it melts, pouring tears, rain drops, and dew beads, and then it snows. Have mercy on me gently, and I will give birth to butterflies, starlings, and daffodils.
I smile before I sleep, and many women smile with me. I may not know them, but I know that they are like me. A song may revive them, or a song may kill them.

Why poetry now?!
We live in an age of betrayals, conspiracies, and assassinations. We pant through twenty-four crowded, deadly hours in a frame of extended, neglected time that does not give any importance to our entire lives. We live in vortexes, labyrinths, and alienation. We live in oppression, fear, and hunger. So why poetry now?!
Who has time for poetry? Who has time to write poetry?! Who has time to receive poetry?!
Poetry riots against betrayal, conspiracy, and murder, or it riots against triviality, superficiality, and sorcery. If poetry does not say: “No” in a blatant, loud, and hurtful way, then it does not accept to say: “Yes,” even by cutting off its head.
It's that great positive thing. It is what confirms to us that we cry because we are not yet accustomed to humiliation and have not accepted it, that we bleed because we have not died, and that we are angry because we have not adapted to injustice. It alerts us to what we have almost forgotten, and reminds us that we are human, and that we are bigger and greater than our daily lives.
we are human beings. We must always remember this, and poetry must always remind us of this.
We are greater than profit and loss, greater than acceptance and surrender, or malice and evasion.
So poetry is necessary.
Therefore, a poet is necessary.
Khairy Al-Hallaq is a dangerous criminal sentenced to death. He spends the remainder of his life in prison waiting for the moment of execution of the sentence, and hides from everyone the secret that prompted him to commit his crime. A secret that might lighten his sentence, or save his life. When he enters the political prisoner ward, the criminal changes his convictions and reconsiders his life, thus dying a different person.
This “sermon” delves into the Turkish community of killers and criminals, to depict the prisoners’ diaries and their struggles in the cells, but it also carries a political and humanitarian dimension by criticizing the death penalty, and the societies’ attempt to purify themselves by choosing a scapegoat on whom to comment their crimes and corruption, and celebrate the joy of ending his life.
The sernama is usually a book that accurately describes a specific type of public celebration, but the sernama of Aziz Nessin conveys the facts and details of the execution of a “criminal” who lost his right to change.
