If you seek to see Death at work all the way,
Watch then yourself in the mirror day after day.

Factual Observations, Here and There!

In that seemingly unrestrained, ‘broad-minded’ world over there: One sees them, in the times of good fortune and the like, attempting as hardly as possible, both in preceding and succeeding manners, attempting to buttress the ‘incarcerated vassal’ so as to endow his/her soul with new life, and to intentionally emancipate him/her from that prospective ‘confinement’!

In this seemingly insubordinate, ‘narrow-minded’ world over here: One sees them, in the times of misfortune and the like, attempting as hardly as possible, and from all possible points of -dir-ection, attempting to give chase to the ‘superciliously liberated’ so as to prohibit his/her soul from any life, and to deliberately apprehend him/her into that retrospective ‘confinement’!

وَإِنْ رُمْتَ مَرْأَى المَوْتِ جَلِيًّا،
/... فِي هَكَذَا زَمَانْ
فَانْظُرْ إِزَاءَكَ فِي المِـرْآةِ مَلِيًّا،
/... فِي كُلِّ آنٍ وَآنْ

(10)

فِي ذَلِكَ العَالَمِ «الاِنْفِتَاحِيِّ» الطَّلِيقِ فِي بِلادِهِمْ،
لِحُسْنِ الطّالِعِ:
هَا هُمْ يُؤَازِرُونَ «القِنَّ السَّبِيَّ» بَيْنَ بَارِحٍ وَآتٍ،
لِكَيْمَا يَبُثُّوا فِيهِ رُوحَ الحَيَاةِ، كَيْمَا يُحَرِّرُوهُ حُـرًّا
مِنْ «سِجْنِهِ»، ذَاكَ العَتِيدِ!؟

وَفِي هَذَا العَالَمِ «الاِنْغِلاقِيِّ» الصَّفيقِ فِي بِلادِنَاِ،
لِسُوءِ الطّالِعِ:
هَا هُمْ يُطَارِدُونَ «الحُرَّ الأبِيَّ» مِنْ أَيِّمَا جِهَاتٍ،
لِكَيْمَا يَرُثُّوا مِنْهُ رُوحَ الحَيَاةِ، كَيْمَا يَأْسِرُوهُ أَسْرًا
فِي «سُجُونِهِمْ»، مِنْ جَدِيد!؟
