Only Good Memories Are Pretty And Great Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

We can not have
A dead man or
A dead woman back to life, but
We can mention the pretty memories of
Both of them
In a great way
Every time
Simply because dead people rest
In their tombs, but
Their good or bad deeds are mentioned
By us anytime...
Pretty people are mentioned
By their pretty and good deeds while
The bad people are mentioned
By their bad deeds...
We praise the good people's memories
Simply because that's the way
With us anytime...
