Najib Altawell - The 'Arab Spring'

They say
‘Harmony’ in the ‘world’
‘Peace’ among ‘men’
And ‘love’ is
The
‘Answer’
But
Dear brother
All we hear is
The stories of ‘killing’
The firing of
Bullets
And
The deployment of
Heavy guns


* * * * * * *



Time and time
The fighting erupt
In every ‘front’
And the worst of
Today’s killing
‘Iraq’
‘Syria’
‘Egypt’
And
‘Yemen’



* * * * * * *



The injured
The disfigured
The displaced
The orphaned
And
The fallen
Ones
All for the
Sake of
‘The
Only one’



* * * * * * *



Yes
The ‘Arab Spring’
As ‘they’ describe it
The truth is nothing
But
The bloodiest days
With no option left
Other than
The ‘revolution’
As
‘Many’ ‘believed’
‘This Is
The only way’
