Their Current Life Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

Life has turned ugly, absurd, and Hellish In all directions and On all life's fronts Turning everything into clear chaos and Turning everyone into hidden ghosts... Their pretty streets and lovely roads Have turned into empty streets and scary roads... Only fear prevails Anywhere and everywhere... Longer blackouts continue To that degree that makes life clearly suicidal... Only poor dogs and poor cats wandering Through those haunted-like streets and roads... Pains are friends to those who are not seen clearly and No one knows what's going on around... It's like an imposed curfew, but There is not any curfew over there... Their life has turned that endless pain That accompanies them Even into their bedrooms... That unbearable and ugly life overlooks On everyone clearly........... Their current life is hard and even bad, but They've got stuck with everything that is bad.............. _____________________________________________________________________
