Our brethren
Jumped in frenzy
Celebrating victory
For shedding the blood
Of their own blood.
Our habitats and the pens and hencoops
And all means of livelihoods
Lay in desolation.
Yet vengeance never reversed harm
In the history of human world.
This poem pleads you: Sow no seeds of sedition.
For they germinate missiles and cannons
Which cast terror upon your hearts
And raze to the ground
What you and your predecessors labored for
For thousands of years
And your progeny inherit bloody violence.
Beware of them who preach loyalty
But practice ingratitude,
Who pay allegiance but organize rebellion,
Who preach peace and sell weapons,
They will come with the Cross
And cut you with the swords.
But never! Again, and again. Never!
The matter concerning
The true owners of the lands
The property of the orphans
The practices of successive governments
Will never be left unquestioned.
No matter how high the bird has flown
Its funeral must perform on the ground.
This poem is from the poet
And it reads: In the Name of Allah,
The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
It commands sanitation, and food security
Compromise, transparency, tolerance, justice and equity
As the bedrocks of world peace.
This poems commands you to make peace
For you were not created
To live in hatred, anxiety, conflict and war.
When we scorn peace, we break into pieces
When we wail, we become weak
But when we smile, we become strong
And when we love, we live longer than the angels.
