poet Dr.Shihab Ghanem: May 2007

http://shihabghanem.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html

Poet Dr.Shihab Ghanem. Poems of arab poet dr.shihab ghanem. Behind the Iron Curtain. I want to cry. But fear stops me, not pride,. Whilst on my chest rests a mountain of unhappiness. I want to ask a question. But that is impossible. For the shadows eavesdrop on every word. I want to breathe, to be free. Or at least to find some sufferable air,. For the chains are eating into the meat of my soul. And I am dying with suffocation. I want to have a moment of peace. And dream of light born amongst the ruins.

poet Dr.Shihab Ghanem: Death and Civilizations

http://shihabghanem.blogspot.com/2007/07/death-and-civilizations.html

Poet Dr.Shihab Ghanem. Poems of arab poet dr.shihab ghanem. Death has its sanctity and awe. When the funeral of a non-believer passed by. The prophet, peace be upon him, stood up. And so did his disciples. And Death has its machines. For the thousands of heads that have ripened. Are no longer a problem. For they have invented the guillotine. Each time Robespierre nods his head. And all the crowds laugh. And whistling fills the air. The head of a prince. Laughter … shouting … whistling…. And a head flies.
