Human Wrongs ‎ Poem by Hamid eldood Mahdi

The victims' wrinkles paint a palette
Of misery and straying on ‎
The forehead of the grim time, ‎
The fake news, cancerous tumour, rapidly spread, ‎
Shyly, sneak out of their cartoon cells: ‎
‎"Victims" of rights flood in
‎ from different directions, ‎
‎ Hopefully to quench the scorching thirst, ‎
‎ Suppress the prolonged hunger, ‎
‎ And water their bony bodies! ‎
‎ Eyes widely dilated, ‎
‎ Teeth start glowing, ‎
‎‘A dish of fish looms on the horizon'! ‎

Staring fearfully! ‎
Gazing impatiently! ‎
Scrutinizing suspiciously! ‎
Wriggling painfully! ‎

Lies' scent, the cause of their, ‎
Fear, impatience, and scepticism! ‎
They wrestle and queue up in lines! ‎
Waiting for the AID, ‎
Waiting for the mirage, ‎
To catch the butterfly and the impossible
Mouth-watering rumours hover hither and thither, ‎

cries rise and fall.‎
The false pregnant clouds of hope, ‎
‎ Deliver the nothingness! ‎
Anger implicitly reflected in their murmurs ‎
The queues disperse, scatter and rift-‎
Back to shanty camps! ‎
Leaders of death caravans burst laughing
