Good & Bad Weather Poem by Freeyad Ibrahim

By Freeyad Ibrahim

The West World (WW) population
are too much concerned about weather
rain, wind, storm, thunder
sea, ebbs, flows and pollution.
By the fireplace sitting crouching
they think, ponder with deep contemplation.
They are prevented from outside activities
Hindered by the storm for any kind preformation.
Their home has become the rest -and -think location.
Such a bad weather has made them:
thinkers
scientists
inventers
novelists
musicians,
philosophers with speculating sophistication.
They would rather, to pass time, write 1000 pages novels
While the Arabs in the desert,
would rather write 10 lines of wisest poetry
with so extensive exaggeration!

That is why there are in Arab-land -East,
the thinkers are Prophets,
lying face to face to sky,
not, as the Europeans;
face to the window by a fireplace
with so much deteriorating determination.

Meanwhile the people in the warm East
Under the bright sun, seamless blue sky,
Full of fresh and romantic inspiration.
And in the dark nights before they go to sleep,
with their eyes high to the sky,
decorated by moon and stars,
where God, has taken His abode
Hiding from the eyes of the low creation.

That is why all the apostels and prophets
come from the burning Sunny East
While most of the sceintists live and lived
In the bitter cold countries,
with depressive agitation.
