Gaza in fire

I’m Gaza in fire—————-you are Mecca in grief

I’m the end of the world——you are the end of the stories

.

I’m Gaza، bloody heart——you are Mecca, clipped wings

The steel headed devil–rest a moment

.

Then, the tongues sealed—Then, the eyes cloudy

Then, the ears are deaf—-Then, the Man is fallen

.

Silent as my secrets——This harmless city of me

Passes by the history—-Rostam maybe will appar

.

My lonely city—- faintly drinks the bowl of madness

A limitless sea in his ocean eyes is a droplet

.

My city tears off his collar——– arrogance has opened s bridge to my heart

I’ve become adventurer—– I’ve got remedy from hatred

My hand just like an angry mad——– draws the sward of the pen

My poem has become a bully——it s on fire from head to toe
