The New Paris Poem by Atef Ayadi

The New Paris



and the new las vegas,
in
middle east
is dubai and qatar city.
sorry beirut has to fall.
that is the saying
it is not mine.
it is who build the new
babylon not paris;
with a new kind of 'La Tour Eiffel'.
it became common,
that the same people who finances
the construction,
the tearing down,
the profit, the non profit,
amnesty to green peace,
the red cross,
blackwaters
blue shields,
the red croissant,
or the red army.
minimum
wage
workers and soldiers are outsourced
here and there,
with zero rights
and infinite burden
nobel price
is another beautiful dynamite,
it gives
status
to who support
a system,
that is eating the earth
with all its life forms,
mashes and network.
maybe it is time
not to follow any
script.
