Lawful Punishment Poem by basim al aoda

The leader cut off my tongue,
When I sang my verse,
That I withoutt call upon authorization,
To songs reiteration,

The leader cut off my hand,
When he saw me,
In my writing -
Had sent songs to every place!
The leader put fetter upon my leg,
While he saw me walk,
Among all the people,
Whith out my hand and tongue,
Soundless!
I repine my shame,
The leader ordered:
To execution me,
Because he passed by,
And I don't shout-
And never leave my place.
