Friends From An Enemy Country - Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Friends are here as well
and they are lovely and nice.
Friends I have all over the world,
from countries that are neither friendly
nor our enemies.
They are lovelier and nicer.
But who is loveliest and nicest?
Friends from a country
I have never met
I have never talked
with whom we have fought a number of wars
with whom I exchange love through websites.
These amazing friends
make me sure
love is above all the hates,
and one day these friendships
will rise as the clouds.
It will rain on both sides
It will wash the dirt of hate.
On a tree of love
with new green leaves
and multicolor flowers
birds will sing and dance together
and we all shall see an incarnated dove,
crowned as the queen of lasting love.
Akhtar Jawad
