When It Is Very Cold Outside Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

Thick sweaters are greatly needed, Trench coats and raincoats are urgently needed, Dark and thick jackets are wholly required, Long boots for everyone and Especially those who are able to buy them, Woolen hats and shawls are greatly needed, Woolen masks are needed, Thick socks are urgently preferred, and Many other wintry things are needed... It is cold outside and We all feel that clearly... We need to be warm and We need to have money to buy What we need anytime... The poor people need money to buy What they need anytime... The poor refugees need fire-wood to To warm up their tents... Those strong winds whistle clearly Just to tell us that it is cold... Winter costs too much money, but Not all people have it anytime... We need to help the poor people To feel safe and warm anytime... Feelings and emotions are mixed with Any cold winds anytime... All people and all other creatures Go in-doors just to feel warm... It is difficult to feel cold out-doors Simply because that's the way... Roast chestnuts are delicious when We have anytime... Tea-pots, coffee kettles, and other boilers Are used greatly by us when sitting together in-doors... Trees and other natural things remain outside Enjoying nature's phenomena anytime... It is cold outside and We go in-doors just to be safe and warm... Who cares about those poor people and About those who are needy anytime, Anywhere, and everywhere? _____________________________________________________________________
