I d e n t i t y

I am not Assyrian or Chaldean or Akkadian.

I am not a Christian or Muslim or Buddist

I am a 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 untied nations.
