Poem
Ahmed Barakat
Casablanca 25/06/1993
Everything is OKAt the beginning of each hour the radio diffuses
The great heart’s beats
The walls do not suffer any trouble in the lungs
The streets can with a little effort be cleaned
From the trace of tears
The sky needs but a few touches
And a few recent photos of some angels
Even those who died because of you
Will forgive you in a delightful feast
