What Is The Difference Poem by Atef Ayadi

If you have to choose between
Touching a holly book
And touching a woman hand.
Tell me
What is the difference?

If you have to choose between
Fighting in a war for personal or tribal cause,
And Fighting a woman lips for the same cause.
Tell me,
What is the difference?

If you have to choose between
Exploring the deepest ocean,
And exploring the deepest woman feelings.
I suppose you know what is a feeling is
And what is an ocean?
Tell me,
What is the difference?

If you have to choose between
Talking for a light year long,
And listening to a woman for a few cosmic events long
Without being frightened and without hiding in your human pride.
Tell me,
What is the difference?


If you have to choose between
Looking at yourself in the mirror
And looking at a woman eyes like looking at a mirror.
Tell me,
What is the difference?


Now,
Tell me
What is life?
What is life with or without a woman?
And what is a woman?
What is a woman with or without feeling life?
And
What is the difference?
