Identity

I am not Assyrian or Chaldean or Akkadian.

I am not a Christian or Muslim or Buddhist.

I am human.

I was born in Mesopotamia, Uruk, Nippur, Shuruppak, and Sippar.

I was born in Babylon, home of Anu and Ishtar.

I am a son of Enlil , Shamash, and Gilgamesh.

I am a son of Ishtar, Ea, and Nunsun.

I was killed once by a flood,

And a million times by a creature,

Called human,

Called a country.

I was killed by a nation,

Or United Nations.
