We Are Accused Of Terrorism

We are accused of terrorism

If we dare to write about the remains of a homeland

That is scattered in pieces and in decay

In decadence and disarray

About a homeland that is searching for a place

And about a nation that no longer has a face

About a homeland that has nothing left of its great ancient verse

But that of wailing and eulogy

About a homeland that has nothing in its horizons

Of freedoms of different types and ideology

About a homeland that forbids us from buying a newspaper

Or listen to anything

About a homeland where all birds are always not allowed to sing

About a homeland that out of horror, its writers are using invisible ink

About a homeland that resembles poetry in our country

Improvised, imported, loose and of no boundaries

Of foreign tongue and soul

Detached from Man and Land, ignoring their plight as a whole

About a homeland to the negotiating table moves

Without a dignity or shoes

About a homeland

That no more has steadfast men

With only women therein

Bitterness is in our mouthsin our talkin our eyes

Will draught also plague our souls as a legacy passed to us

from ancient times?

Our nation has nobody left, even the less glorified

No one to say "NO" in the face of those who gave up our

homebread and butter

Turning our colorful history into a circus

We have not a single honest poem

That has not lost its virginity in a ruler's Harem

We grew accustomed to humiliation

Then what is left of Man

If he is comfortable with that?

I search the books of history

For men of greatness to deliver us from darkness

To save our women from fires' brutality

I search for men of yesterday

But all I find is frightened cats

Fearing for their souls

From the authority of rats

Are we hit by national blindness

Or are we suffering from color blindness

We are accused of terrorism

If we refuse to perish

Under Israeli tyranny

That is hampering our unity

Our history

Our Bible and our Quran

Our prophets' land

If that is our sin and crime

Then terrorism is fine

We are accused of terrorism

If we refuse to be wiped out

By barbarians, the Mongols or the Jews

If we choose to stone the fragile security council

Which was sacked by the king of caesuras

We are accused of terrorism

If we refuse to negotiate the wolf

And reach out for a whore

America is fighting the cultures of Man

Because it lacks one

And against the civilizations because it needs one

It is a gigantic structure but without a wall

We are accused of terrorism

If we refuse current times

Where America  the arrogant the mighty the rich

Became a sworn interpreter of Hebrew.
