Nightmare

By: Dr. Eiman Abbas El-Nour
In this infectious chaos
Collective madness
Is the theme
I can’t call this carnage
Absurd
For dead bodies are real
And our wound is deep
I have moved from hopeful
To scared
Like when watching
A horror movie
You want to know the story
But can’t bear the scene
What is the logic of hate
Is it that you only love yourself
Or you loathe the other
You want to take what they own
The place
Where they sleep and dream
Absurd is that
You also want to invade their dream
Where nobody knows your name
Your heart is alien
And for ever spurned
Like ravenous locusts
In this green field
