Poem - Be at Peace, Poet - Mohammed El-Laghafi (Morocco)
Be at Peace
Mohammed El-Laghafi
Be at peace
this war
waged by the savage
is not ours at all.
Let us remain,
fashioning love
for the world.
Perhaps we shall master life
amid the corpses.
Gather with me
the wails of bereaved mothers,
the cries of the young
and rise,
that we may tend
the wounded walls.
The sky we saw
falling
was poised, perhaps,
for a sudden ascent.
We have
more than one reason
to live without a roof,
to breathe
the hues of charred remains.
Together we write
letters of longing
for me and for you…
No one awaits us.
And so
this war
that disturbs
our love
is not ours.
*A poem by the poet Mohammed El-Laghafi, translated by Hassan Yarti
