More ruthless than Timur Lenk and Genghis Khan

More ruthless than Timur Lenk and more coward than Arabian Peninsula “Arab” leaders
In retrieving paper and letters a few poems written in Arabic in 1992 when decluttering the house after mother passed away. I am translating a few of poems written in Arabic in 1992 into English.
“Arabian” leaders of treachery and indignity
Cocktailing Masters who are more ruthless than Timurlenk
And more coward than the “Arabian” Emirs in the Arabic Peninsula.
In pseudo-States created by colonial powers
Where neighboring states are aliens to their lifestyles.
Billions of petrodollars are burned to intimidate the “Arabs”
Their children are homeless and hungry
In cities that never sleep or give a damn.
The poorer classes live in shantytowns
Forever in “temporary” lodging
Even in Saudi Kingdom wealthy Capital Riyad.
Even the Palestinians in refugees camps managed
To build houses in stones when allowed
And breathed life in the stones
Throwing stones of fire and anger at the soldiers of our existential enemy.
This Israeli implanted apartheid colonial State in our midst
Another ruthless enemy, and as coward as the “Silent Majority“.
He is mistaken who thinks that Iraq is “Arabic”.
Sure, we like to dwell on the idea that Iraq
Is an intrinsic part of the One Syrian people
One Nation, one people
Going back to the glorious empires of Babylon and Assyria.
We did miss the boat:
Iraq has been Farisi/Persian since the Sassanid empire
And the Ottoman empire “occupying” this Land did nothing to disprove it.
And its revival is at arms’ reach.
