The Last Words Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

They left like birds, but In fear and in the heart of darkness Looking for a new world that is different from That world they fled from, They left for the unknown To face an unknown world, They left the dead ones and the loved ones With their eyes shedding tears, They left without leaving any trace for themselves, They left their broken houses, their hungry dogs and cats, and They left their pretty memories behind, They left everyone and everything, They abandoned their images on the broken walls, so Their last words uttered by them left no space for their inevitable Return.
