Our Fall Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

Our Fall is terrible and scary Simply because we were forced to fall as Leaves... To fall from that pretty and deep-rooted in Its land... Trees and their leaves fell by force... The pretty trees turned into piles of Firewood scattered here and there Whereas their pretty leaves flew away in all Directions - although they're still green - Looking here and there for a shelter to have Themselves in... It's a horrible drama that the trees and Their leaves fall together, then To be trodden on them... Strange winds blow on them to carry them - Without their willingness - by land, by sea, And by air... It's a horrible and different Fall... Our Fall is painful and aching whereas We have turned into thrown leaves among the Roads, the rivers, the seas, and everywhere..... We got lost together with our dreams and we Started looking for each other, but In vain... They are the cruel days and Our Fall is cruel... Our Fall got a sad image of itself in a Heartless and mindless world...and nothing.... Our pretty leaves fell together with their Trees to be an example to that echoing fall For the best into the worst... Our Fall is a horrible pain and it's different... We fell very badly and it has its own Dimension, so We will not be to stand up after that... It's the cruel Fall that copied all our Images on its leaves.... All leaves fell together with that mulberry's leaf... Our Fall got turned into a shame...a shame...and a shame............. ____________________________________________
