Gas Chamber By Ahmad Al-Khatat

My life lately seems like a gas chamber,

Everything appears in different colours nowadays

My name is no longer important since I’ve got

A number and soon I will have a legal price tag

I thought the snow would cover the cruelty of blood suckers

Yet, I saw a broken cage in spring with blood and

Feathers of the love birds above the winter rain

With no tweets to welcome the depressed autumn

The sun shines at midnight and it looks as if the

City is on fire, with flames around my glowing path

So many times, and nobody is bright to reveal the

Sun before death starts collecting my soul

I have been blinded as I wish to go back to

The days where my sight always smiled and never

Cried for watching my old pictures of memories

With tears falling in silence of my depression
