A Child Within Me..! Poet - Nageh Ahmed (Egypt)

A Child Within Me..!
Nageh Ahmed
Egypt

Woe to me for imitating ancestral pain!
The repetition of eras of perpendicularity of civilizations
Is the secret now in the future of power? We live gazing towards the qibla of illusions
And I live on the fringes of the homeland
Whether life wills it or not
I will remain from cradle to adulthood
A child or a youth, despite my extreme weakness
The strength of my body does not represent my strength
My weakness has healed me with the strength of indifference
So I cannot escape
From the phoenix of an electronic algorithm
That carried me like snow to the abyss of captivity
Frozen, deciphering electromagnetic sounds in space
In the refuge of artificial frequency tones
It haunts me, changes me, or replaces me
It mimics what is inside me on the journey of existence
Not even my intelligence belongs to me
It reminds me of the groans of an invisible war
That denies me salvation from the planes of pain
Oh soul, disappear from the corridors of the multitude
Sleep, do not break
I am a child with the spirit of dawn, of the east and the west
My laments rise from the Pulpits of Media and Poetry
I sing my song with all the meaning of love
And the tenderness of the mother who nursed me
Some forget me, and all ignore me
And ignorance, in the book of truth, wishes to kill me
And my heart almost burns with injustice
The rain that falls from my eyes has no mercy
Only the messenger of peace accompanies me
He embraces me tenderly
With my wings to his breast
He makes mem shine at the door of light
He opens his warm heart to comfort me
Among the seed that opens from the rose
He recites verses of hope
With a universal love that never runs out
And the birds hear me with their trill
If only you, oh diverse people!
Were one in customs, values, and ideals
Will the dream come true?
