Analysis of The vehicles that eat up the meat of the human beings
These fast cars which move fast on its iron wheels
like birds are wild
When they take us to the ruined cities of death
without warning
But before they take us they tear us apart,
They play with us like a whale when he is playing
with seals in the ocean,
He is flying them high in the air,
And toss them out far to the shoreline
Then devour them and the white wave color of the sea turns into the frightening red color
In the past death was dignified and classical
It always comes when we expect it
In its elegant black uniform,
And its cart which is pulled by the horses of the last time
He asks permission to enter to take away
the one whom we expected
Then takes him to the unknown foggy range
And we recite on him some of the heavenly hymns
She was playing in the innocence of the angels
And a few toys that her father gave her on her eighth birthday
Looking with the joy of the dawn
To the hills and the plants which pass
In front of her window
And holds the air with her arms
As if to paint a picture for the world
The air was kissing her cheeks,
Trees, birds, green plants, fields,
Water and waterwheels were all saluting her
Moreover, they were worshiping in her niche
Because of the beauty of the wide universe
Appears in the features of the pure face
Ah! The innocence of jasmine!
Who has a heart having the innocence of these roses?
That fifty-year-old maid looks up to the horizon,
And from it to the nothingness
The tear glitters with longing in her eyes
Hugging the spectrum of who stands in the distant pavement
And dreams that a moment will bring them together
But the moment has not come
And in a moment
The savage barbaric moment which is imposed
by the armored monsters has come
Which run on the iron wheels
, threw us, tear us, knocked us down
And played with us in the air
We were torn apart into scattered pieces
Even the earth cried for us and could not drink
The blood cups that have made these monsters drunk,
Heaven!
Then what is after that?
What clumsy messy gods are tampering?
That was not a comedy of Dante
But is similar to the tragedy of Al-Hallaj
Denshwaniya / Karbalaia / Hiroshima /
September / Tsunami
Panic / fright / Horror / Fear
Darkness ... Darkness ... Darkness
It snatches security from our ribs
Death is here
Very easy, cheap, and unexpected
Traitor / unfair / crazy
Incautious/careless and too hasty
Damning and cursing life
And hates light …!
