The Jungle ?

Good morning, Happy world,
World in peace
Are you awake?
Enjoyed the party last night ?
No nightmares while sleeping ?

Good morning, tranquil world
Peace for you, Peace upon you
World in peace, perish in peace
No shouts in the night
No noise whatsoever
That is life
In a world that loses life

Good morning, world with no conscience
Time is lost within the time
Awaiting in the wind
No mirage, no fantasy
No storms, no ecstasy
Faces hiding behind a cloud
No body moves
Don't spoil the sight
Die of patience

Good morning, Silent world
Humanity, cloud, no brightness
Mirage, ephemeral, carelessness
And you, respectable sirs
Line up on the white line
Smile, the photo will shine
With no blemish

Good morning, barbaric world
Go on, continue telling stories
Outrageous hypocrisy, immoral injustice
Criminal silence, silence of complicity

Hollywoodian Bitterness, crocodile tears
Turn the wheel of fortune
In all the newspapers, you make the first page

From which jungle did you come?
Chiefs of paper governments
Face without a face
Plumes in the storm
Fire soldiers, fire chiefs of governments
No difference between those who fire
And those who watch in silence
And history shall not forget
Cowards, silent people, and partners

Don't cry my child
Wipe off your tears precious mama
Rain shall fall and wash the dirt
Of this orphan humanity
Which loose the face
Loose the space
Loose the honor
Loose the values
Which transforms into a partner,
The terror

Good morning, world small and miniscule
Savage world, ridiculous world
Hypocritical world, futile world

Good morning silent world, world in peace
Search in the ruins of Jenin
A small place, a small space
Where you can burry all the classes
Of silent people with faces of glass
And tomorrow, when your children ask some questions
You shall be able to answer in silence

AbdelFatah Abu-Srour
