By Day And By Night Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

I have in my mind A lot of broken images of Ruined houses, Dead bodies, Up-side-down and burnt cars, Shattered pieces of stones, Bad images of people starving To death because of the lack of food, Some people eat cats, dogs, and donkeys, Broken hopes, Sunken eyes, Isolated and desolated houses, Broken trees, Torn barbies, Empty bullets are everywhere, Empty shells are everywhere, Rotten corpses on the walls, There is a nasty war going on, A lot of refugees cross everyday into the unknown, UN is not well ready, Tents are like mushrooms scattered everywhere, Little kids need Nido, Scorpions and snakes are everywhere, Destroyed tanks and armored vehicles, Smokes are everywhere, The olive trees are alone, The ground is a good mattress, Thirst and hunger prevail, Dead dreams, Life is lifeless and absurd, Love is banned, Piles of dead people, It's all dead, and Tomorrow might come with its new dawn.
