Others' Wars On Our Land Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

All wars are ugly Simply because they lead to ugly havoc and To miseries among people... Any trivial spark can ignite Any greater war that leads To horrible destruction anywhere and everywhere... Arms-dealers, warlords, and evil-doers Work hand-in-hand just to start wars... Picking a certain land to be the right spot For waging wars is a top priority by Those evil-doers... Our lands are never exempted from those ugly wars Simply because that's the way with those who hide Themselves behind those dark curtains anytime... Our lands are peaceful, but Evil policy-makers have turned them Into something else... Wars are the outcome of others' evil acts and We only pay very high prices for them... Unless we get united as one-entity, then They will separate us and They will rule us... We've got tired from others' ugly wars On our lands... Our lands are only those of spikes of grain... As long as we are weak, then Others will rule us with their words and With their acts anytime... We are peaceful people who look only for Peace, love, and justice... ______________________________________________________________________
