We Will Be Considered Terrorists
we will be considered terrorists
if we dare to write
debris of the homeland
which is scattered and decomposed
in decline and chaos
about a homeland
who was looking for a place
and about a nation
who no longer has faces
about the homeland
who did not inherit anything
from his past poems
outstanding
in addition to lament and elegi
about the homeland
who has nothing
in its horizon
about freedom
diverse groups and ideologies
about a homeland
which forbids us
buying newspapers
or listen to everything
about a homeland
which forbade the birds to sing
about a homeland
the authors
forced to write
with transparent ink
to avoid cruelty
about the homeland
which resembles poetry in our country
compiled, circulated, lost,
and has no restrictions
with the tongue and the soul of a stranger
separating man and his land
erase all their circumstances
about a homeland
which are negotiated on a table
without self-esteem
or shoes
about a homeland
who no longer had brave men
and contains only women
bitterness in our mouths
in our words
in our eyes
will the drought also infect our souls
as an inheritance
from the past?
no one left in our country
even a little victory
nobody said 'no'
in front of them
who gave up residence,
food, and butter
change our colorful history
into a circus
we have none
honest poetry
poetry that does not lose its purity
in the hands of the harem rulers
we have become accustomed to humiliation
we grow up with humiliation
what does a man mean?
if he feels comfortable
in such circumstances?
I'm looking for history books
I'm looking for great people
that will get us out
from the darkness
and take care of our women
from abominations and cruelty
I'm looking for a man of the past
but I found it
just a coward cat
who are afraid of their own souls
and the power of the mice
whether we are beaten
by blind nationalism
or we suffer
color blind
we will be considered terrorists
if we refuse to die
under the reign of the tyranny of Israel
that hinder our union
our history
our gospel and quran
the land of our prophets
if all that is a sin
and our wickedness
then terrorism
not a bad thing
we are considered terrorists
if we refuse
removed by savages,
mongol or Jewish
if we choose to destroy
glass of the security council
which is inhabited by the king of caesura
we will be considered terrorists
if we refuse to negotiate
with wolves
and talking to prostitutes
Americans oppose human culture
because they have nothing
and against civilization
because it needs something
America is a gigantic building
but has no walls
we will be considered terrorists
if we reject the current of the times
when america is arrogant, rich, and strong
become a translator of Jews
