2. We Will Reverberate,
   Till We Conquer Heartless-Minds
   We will reverberate and 
Our offspring will yell even after we sigh.
   Innocents’ blood shall never dry.
   We will dig the desert caves
 to understand . . .
   Why were we slayed?
   We will remain praying 
Like Queen Anne*.
   
She was beheaded by a king
   
We were killed by so-called elite Ottomans.
   Both were religious but faithless 
After enjoyment, prayed and slayed virgin girls.
   Like Anne and Catharine**,
   many Armenian girls walked
   Fearlessly, refusing to be touched by tyrants 
Who have religion but unbirthed with a natural faith.
   Virgin girls throw themselves
   in the Euphrates, Tigris Rivers,
   Having an immense faith in God. 
One god we all know, the same god
   called “Allah” of the Tyrant
   Even that god was afraid: 
He could not protect Armenians
   from the evilest blood-shed.
   Mothers, Virgin girls committed suicide . . .
   died dignified,
   Could not accept linking heartily . . .
   with those faithless.

   * Queen Anne Boleyn (c.1507—Executed 1536) was Queen of England from 1533 to 1536
   as the second wife of King Henry VIII. Henry’s marriage to Anne, and her subsequent execution, made her key figure in the political and religious upheaval that was the start of the English Reformation.
   ** Queen Catherine Howard (c.1521—Executed 1542), was the fifth wife of Henry VIII of England, and sometimes known by his reference to her as his “rose without a throne”. She was beheaded after less than two years of marriage to Henry on the grounds of adultery committed while married to the King.
