The Onion Seller

[عبدالباسط الشمي]

The Onion Seller
&
The Worshipper Of
Dates



No sweet without sweat


The Onion Seller changes


His mind,


Getting bad ,and


With dirty style


At time, of the curse dancing course


As he used to sing so slowly song


His poor devil appear ..


Over his face!


Then , the Seller crying.. for death


With whom we always give the bones.




But !!


There is, a serious words come up


Up or down, near or far on time


It becomes a flame … fire our hearts


When in air ,


The Worshipper Of Dates


Declare the war against his fingers




O , My God !?




Stupid little king !


He burned the only palm soon


The two chained swords ( too ) then


Become unused thing


More than before




It's the time we have to know,


Come along !


And run fast …right now


You and I must sweeper the dust


Not by hands !


Nor by legs


It's the time we use the guns


The close gate over there


The bodyguards of Arab leaders bed


We are ,the opener men


That wait…


Wait no more and face the fate


Nick or nothing !?


It should be asked of all


There's no need to shout


Or to weep


Just , take my hand


And still keep


There's nothing to worry about


Let's gain the best prize done


For those whose souls borrowed before


To get it back


By God's grace


For all that,


And the heavy rain


I will never stay nor back again

THE POET \ ABDULLBASET ABDO ALI RAFEA

[Iron Man]

nice poem

it's obvious you've made a big effort to write it

though you 've overused the metaphors, the poem is rich and full of meanings

thanks for sharing dear ABDULLBASET

regards

[Little Cat]

Thanks brother, but I wasn't able to understand the half of the poem, meaning the first part.

I agree with what I understood from the second part, people fight but no advantage of that, ignorant nations are busy with fighting while their kings are having a nap and secret devils are having fun watching. Peace remains as distant as a star but it's worth trying our best for anyway, and poetry is a good way to spread the message so well done.

Thanks again
