My Search
In my dream I heard a fellow saying,
"War is over and grapes are so sweet."
I searched the fellow all the day
but I found him neither in Ukraine
nor in the Middle-East
in the evening
I asked a lonely Date-Tree again
but it'd lost its voice
at the moment when the trumpet
of the war was blown again
I'm searching the fellow
for fulfilling my dream
with me there're some refugee children
whose vocal-chords don't vibrate
but their eyes narrate many epics of scare.
