A SAILOR’S LETTER



Ayad Gharbawi

Monument’s finale
Requiem disguised
An act to move through
So at last, the
Words crossing the land of shameless criminals
See their laughter of virgin tears venomous
Don’t you turn away again
Can’t you see these uncivil sinister trivialities?
You can be so alive to feel
But do not lie to me
No north, no south to change disturbed winds
Wither do they vanish, or wither do they rest?
None is relevant
Between us now
This moment defines
Existence
What grips your indefinable, unruly senses
Are copies of the same
Immaterial emotional fakery that is so chaining
Your mind, within and your mind outside
And all can see are your acts so feigning, so pretentious
Your bride of vision is within
Lying to ignore your disrupted mind
Your infrastructure so burdensome to all
Between us now
Yearn for this now
For the now
Is the definition true
Of existence
The existing now moment
Is what your Self is
Confront your scavenging rootless eyes
Loneliness needs nourishing roots
To fire off instincts
Of a thousand detrimental deceptive rainbows
So illusory
Upon their borrowed masks
They effectively employed to
Entertain and torture you
So
Don’t take it all so seriously
If your brittle dry nerves can
Words you mentioned can kill, didn’t you understand?
Ah! The symphonic movements of sincerity’s passions between us
In the stillest hours of solitude
And yet, within contexts of raging passions screaming
Inside caged ears
If you desire your needs essential
Forgetting all others who forgot you, abandoned you
The fiery dead and the numb living continue their interesting arguments
But are they not all one?
Yes, your decayed compass
Turns inside out
And all childhood is good and bad, churned together
Don’t ignore too much others who are in solitary pain
You hear or you do not hear
When all say they do love you so
Laugh, friendless friends, laugh seriously
Now you shall hear the serious reality of truth’s images
Sweet humans, how much longer will you sin?
You are all, simply
Existing to exist?
Why?
Can you not do better?
Can you not be compassionate?
Can you not be humane?
Can you not be understanding?
No?
So, I resign
Lie in your fragrant bowels of multidinous crimes
Lie to your sickening madness that butchers fanatically
Lie
To your spastic shudders of evil emotions that reverberate within you
Hear the polite, stern winds emerging, demanding truth, justice and peace!
Bow your soul, Man, bow your sanity to God above you;
Respond respectfully, understandably
And try to think truthfully
