Haiku of Maher Hamoud

for the world today
there's no distinction between
sunnis and shiites

in beirut suburbs
baghdad, kabul, and gaza
the party of god

a sword is brandished
against the americans
who support the jews

even arab thrones
who carry out their wishes
confront hizbullah

ahmaq abu ghaet
talking a lot of nonsense
shedding not a tear

wherever displaced
of the world are to be found
we are the party

we who demonstrate
shout slogans and raise banners
make our voices heard

where there is someone
who has nothing but a shoe
to express his faith
