Inside A Tomb Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

Those who passed away one day Stay permanently inside their dark tombs Simply because they have no choice... They're inside their tombs With their deeds Good or bad... They used to be like us Coming, going, traveling, camping, ...., but They stay nailed in their permanent dwellings... What do they do over there? Of course, they rest peacefully... This life, in the tombs, does not have to do With our current world anymore... When everyone dies, then They hurry up and they bury him or her anytime... Only those tombs' occupants took their deeds With them and they left us heart-broken... They stay for ever and ever until The Day of Judgement occurs... We only pray for these people Because they need us to pray for all of them Whether we know them or we don't know them... Only when someone passes away, then He or she takes their whole deeds Good or bad... This tomb's life - although we think it is very long, but In fact it is short - is transitional Simply because we will move to the other life Where all human beings will be asked about What they have done in their life (previous life) ...
