Analysis of I’m out of breath



(In the light of humanity- Oh,
I’m out of breath, I feel suffocated
I cannot breathe, though no Cov-19 infects me
Yes, truly I cannot breathe now

On this earth, I feel ashamed of myself,
On this earth I fie on me as a human being)

(In the light of inhumanity-
But now I forget that I’m human
I was human more than being a-
Jewish, Christian, Muslim, or another believer;
I was human more than being nationality of -
Israel, Palestine, USA, UAE, or any other countries

But,
I forget that the world is safe in human hands
I forget that everyone is safe in human hands

I forget that Jerusalem is my holy place of living prayer
I forget the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Western Wall,
The Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the Temple Mount,
The Dome of Rock, the Mount of Olives,
The Church of Nativity, the City of David, the Tomb of the Virgin
I forget the Garden Tomb Jerusalem…..etc
which all are equal spiritual sense giver I forget audaciously

Forgetting all, now, I’m manipulating the scientific inventions
Science comes for me, now, to ravish humanity beastly!
Now, I’m appointing the salaried soldiers to kill the public triumphantly
Now, the ruined ashes, the smell of corpses are blowing through winds roundly
Brutally I’m devastating all, by obeying the non-sense hellish commands of politics

I forget the woman is my mother, the lady is my sister
I forget the man is my father, the gentleman is my brother
I forget the boy is my son, the girl is my daughter
I forget the widow and widower are my relatives
I’ve no value the tears of the orphan kids
Worthless to me the women and men’s sniveling and howling are

Rubbish the entire Bank in my imperialist eyes and bestial senses
Killing the indigenous peoples is my daily passion and working trends

On this earth, now, no human lives here, everyone is like an inanimate object
Animals, all are castrated, blind, dumb, and deaf; all are moving just like animals
That’s why from an incest uterus I make me an inexorable colonialism sect

There is no one to make me stop on the earth, none can barricade me
So I can burn everything and everyone alive, I can destroy all as I like
I can exploit all by my shrewd knowledge and intellectuality

Now, I’m throwing missiles and make them all burning up
There are flames, dark ashes, coals, debris, and relics in moaning
For the plateaus, on throne cheerily I’m dinking the menstrual cup)

(In the light of humanity- Oh,
I’m out of breath, I feel suffocated
I cannot breathe, though no Cov-19 infects me
Yes, truly I cannot breathe now)
