We Still Represent Our Death Afrah Al-Kubaisi
We represent our death… fake our years… to be lost by the silence of the end We wash our days by tar And pave our streets by tears, blood, and sweat We destroy our homes by our hands We kill ourselves by our knives… assassinate our feelings in our graveyard… and swim in our blood We elegies our homeland by silence… and by the ink that is bleeding from our fingers We deplorable our life by pride And we die… we die… we die… And we still represent our death We run away from our dreams… before they shoot us We kneel on our knees… praying for our misery And we die… we die… we die… And we still represent our death Our mind controls us… our mind dies so nonbeing lead us to the ways that have no existence or countenance We squeeze our souls… drop by drop… may be one can bring us to life We cry in sadness… we cry in happiness And we die… we die… we die And we still resist our death
