Default Re: Poets of the Orient

Friendship

A quarter of a century since then
And we arrive to find
That Ibn Tamiyya has become
The head of a bludgeon
And Al-Muwafaq is still cleaving
Rebellious slaves
From the womb of the earth
The police of Damascus kick us
And the police of Iraq
And the English
And the French
And the Persian
And the Ottoman Police
And the police of the Fatimid Caliphs
Our families
Kick us,
Our naive, good hearted families
Our murderous families
We are the children of this madness.
Let's be whatever we wish.

written by Saadi Youssef

Reference to Ibn Taymiyya was meant to represent saudis stance towards the opposing Iraqis
