Here Or There Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

If I am here,
It means I am not there,
There is a straight bridge
Between here and there that
Connects us all the time,
I know myself well
If I am not there,
It means I am here inevitably
For a reason or
For no reason,
I don't care
If I am here or
I am there, but
I care about
What's going around me well,
I care about a certain word
That depicts a certain image
Here or there,
I care about a certain world
Which is called careless
Like our current world or
Like a certain world
Which we can only find it
In our dreams or
In our nightmares,
Inevitably our whole truth lies
Between here or there,
We all have to be here or
We all have to be there
Just to see our whole truth and
Even our whole images
That depict our whole life
As it is,
As it was, or
As it will be,
We were here and there one day,
We are here and there at the present time, and
We will be here or there one day
Just to see or
To know our whole truth.
