Weather Poem by Freeyad Ibrahim

Weather
By Freeyad Ibrahim

The West World (WW) population
are too much concerned about weather
rain, wind, storm, thunder
sea, ebbs, flows and pollution.
By the fireplace sitting crouching
they think, ponder with deep contemplation.
They are prevented from outside activities
Hindered by the storm for any kind preformation.
Their home has become the rest -and -think location.
Such a bad weather has made them:
thinkers
scientists
inventers
novelists
musicians,
philosophers with speculating sophistication.
They would rather, to pass time, write 1000 pages novels
while in the desert, they'd rather write 10 lines
of wisest poetry with so extensive exaggeration!
That is why there are in Arab-land -East,
the thinkers are Prophets:
face to face to sky,
not, as the Europeans,
face to the window by fireplace
with so much deteriorating determination.
Under the bright sun and seamless blue sky,
Full of fresh and romantic inspiration.
And in the dark night before they go to sleep,
with their eyes high to the sky, moon and stars,
where God, has taken His abode
Hiding from the eyes of the low creation.
That is why all prophets are from the Warm East
While most of the sceintists live and lived
In bitter cold countries, with depressive agitation.
