Suddenly Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

An ugly infighting broke out Between yesterday's brothers About trivial issues that, Regretfully, caused a lot of Havoc, disorder, and that big Mess which we can not get out Of it even if we try hard... It was a sudden spark that That caused a lot of destruction And a lot of sufferings and Even a lot of pains to everyone... Things are now intolerable And life itself is chaotic... We only suffer from this on-going Situation which carries to us All kinds of despair and stress... We have got scattered everywhere Begging others to help us, but All in vain on all levels... A lot of us got displaced and They got relocated in those ugly Tents installed here and there... A lot of us have ended in tombs As their permanent dwellings... A lot of us have got injured as As a result of stray shelling... A lot of us have become widows, Widowers, orphans, and many things... We are suffering from everyone and From everything around us fully... Only death rounds us just to make Us fully accept it as inevitable... We have suddenly become another Thing that nothing looks-like it... ______________________________________________________________________
