Tweet, proudly, with your wound



Tweet, proudly, with your wound
By :
Dr. Ahmed Salah Kamel
Translated by:

***

Even if you are betrayed
   by a beautiful belle,   
Sold by an intimate friend,
and banished  from your homeland
to outdoors.
Even if they, stealthily, steal your tongue
Or they exchange you with a commodity
Or  you are  falsely accused  of a big charge
And instructed the tribe's fools to mock at you
  
and give you bad names with the  foolish  
Do not weep from pain and  proudly  tweet
And pour on the sorrow the oil of pride
Even if it were a plot to  kill  you naked
To watch you on television disgraced without cover
Tweet proudly with your wound
You can do nothing but to encounter
  with singing

Oh ..  bird!
Your voice is stronger than a thousand  swords
When the discordance blindly takes command
 of  the space
