hell of hate

And the bad smell

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

The hell of hatred we burn with fire

And the foul smell we think is fragrant

And we break the spine of the joints with a fracture

And we cut off our close grudges

And we squeeze hatred until we drink

But we did not drink a little of it

We sleep on hatred and brotherhood

Expelled and we show snoring

And we take separation as we are accustomed to

And hatred is sent as an ambassador

But we are all blind and deaf

So we did not hear the murmur of our affliction

We say and our saying is a great lie

And we take disagreement for us as a camel

And bad suspicion grows in hearts

And we gather around it deliberately a blessing

And we water it so it grows while it is bitter

And we recite from the colocynth of the well

And we chew what the accusations scatter

As if we were eating barley bread

And we make room for the councils of the enemies

And they have disturbed our consciences

And we carry what we have learned as a burden

And we have become red by nature

If you water Nights are the eyelids of creation

We took what is inside us as a companion
