Our Deeper Depths Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

WE CARRY TONS OF CARE OVER OUR HEADS WE DON'T HAVE TO DO WITH BECAUSE WE ARE SO WEAK. WE WALK IN DARKNESS IN ENDLESS PATHS. WE LOOK LIKE LAMBS, BUT WE ARE MONSTERS WITH BIG TEETH. EVIL COMES FROM OUR DEPTHS. WE LOOK LIKE SNAKES CREEPING TOWARDS THE EVIL. WE LOOK LIKE ROTTEN FRUIT AND OUR VEGETABLES ARE USELESS. THE WORMS INSIDE US SHARING OUR LIVING. WE CARRY IN OUR HEADS HIDDEN EVIL. OUR BREAKFAST, LUNCH, AND DINNER ARE AVAILABLE IN FOUR OR FIVE STAR HOTELS INCLUDING SWIMMING, MASSAGE, AND EXERCISING. POVERTY LIVES WITH US AND WITH OUR THOUGHTS BECAME UNBELIEVABLE. OUR HEALTH GOT BAD, OUR FACES GOT PALE. WE DON'T CARE TO WHAT HAPPENS AROUND US. WE ASK QUESTIONS AND WE DON'T FIND ANSWERS. IN THE CONFINEMENT OF OURSELVES WE LIVE AND DIE AS WE STARTED BEFORE AND THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT WE NEVER CHANGE OURSELVES.
