Events Poem by Fadhil Al Azzawi

There is something that always happens:
A war can be declared suddenly
A baby born in a cave
A lonely heart broken.
Shall I forget all that?
There is something that always flows:
Water in a river
Wine in a tavern
Tears and blood too.
Can I stop all that?
There is something we always miss:
A sentence we learned by heart
An umbrella forgotten in a bar
A woman with whom we fell passionately in love.
Can I be happy about all of that?
And if nothing happens -
If I do not win a million dollars in the lottery
Or find a treasure in my garden
Or I do not make a trip to the moon,
For example,
Should I not be sad then because of that.
