Lost & Found Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

We lost a pretty nation and We found a broken infrastructure With a lot of damages, With a lot of dead people, With a lot of wounded people, With a lot of injured people, and With a lot of pains and sufferings Through an ugly infighting that Destroyed everyone and Even everything... We lost our dignity and We found all that is ugly and bad Anywhere and everywhere... We lost our true personality and We found ugly monsters everywhere... We lost all our pretty heritage and We found ugly heritages of hatred and Of absurdity... We lost good men and good women and We found broken hearts and tears... We lost our front lines and We found our new rear lines... We lost everyone and everything, but We found humiliation and shame... We are still losing and We are still finding non-sense and Absurdity... What are we? We are nothing! We lost! Our whole battle of life is over among All nations Simply because we have lost our pretty wisdom and We have found ugly ways Anywhere and everywhere... ______________________________________________________________________
