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
