Last Living Train Poem by Najib Altawell

Tell me sir
The departure time
Of your
Last
Living train


Tell me sir
Why the travellers
Ignoring
That lost child
Badly hurt
And constantly crying
Over there!
And
Why you have
Divided them
As
Rich
And poor
And beyond
Those so-called
Sane
And
Insane


Tell me sir
Why the rain
And the pain
Only ‘come'
At the door
Of ‘your' train


Part for the
Rich
And
Part for
The poor
That is not meant
To be
In this ‘plane'


Tell me sir
Why
We are not equal
Even though
We are the same


Tell me sir
The departure time
Of your
Last
Living train


Sir
Sir
Sir
I wonder if this
Will be ever ‘your' last
Living train
