Alone
Prof. Rahim. M. Al-Saadi
Alone, you die in a moment of an old day
Alone, you try to make a point to scream
You understand that time is short
The impossible is a long dream
You haven't read all the poems yet
And the forgotten rain did not fall on the roof of your imagination
The ideas were not written down
Makes you Descartes or Plato
She did not apologize to all those she wronged
You won't regret your mistakes
You didn't apologize for your mother's wrinkles
And your father was sad
She didn't cry from laughter
Who laughed all your life
Alone
And there are no seconds to apologize
From the bird and the sun, from the shadow, from the rose, from the star
From God, from fear, from this morning
What passes by you and you do not see it
Alone you breathe the smell of death
You did not apologize in memory of a friend passing by
A child is hungry and you look into his eyes
Alone, your sadness rains
And flowing on a dead forest
