Emir Of The Informants Poem by Ahmed Matar

I was lost on the way to a friend's house
So I asked the passers-by
I was told: go left,
You will see some informants behind you
Turn at the first informant, you will find an informant working on an ambush
Head towards the informant in front of the ambushing informant and count to seven
Then stop
You will find the house behind the eighth informant to the far right
God keep the emir of informants
For he has thronged the land of the Muslims with security
People, be comforted
Your doors are guarded at every moment
So enter them, in peace and security .
