Poem by Lubna Ghanem

A Show

Darkened darkened heavy inside

Demolition on the sides

Buildings up, buildings down

People ready to collide.

Give me feeling to arise

Give me strength for I cut ties

With the world, north to south

I am a victim of its lies.

Photograph me from head to toe

Display my wounds for all I know

I will gain but some laughs

From my butchers as they gloat.

The media, I am its precious guest

The headline in the daily digest

I speak wisdom; I utter peace

Yet my land will never rest.
