-- Help! Help!
By: Hassan Hegāzy ( Egypt )




I call
from the narrow flat steps of death,
Calling:
beyond the doors,
under the wrecks,
the sound is suffocating me,
Silence is killing me,
Through mobile
Through hope
From yesterday
To this day,
For tomorrow
Many calls are sent :
In colloquial,
In hieroglyphic ,
In Arabic,
any revolutionary language ,
defeated language , any

From the depth of dream
Across the winds of injustice
Across the fire of pain
Repentance is slaughtering me,
Writing with blood
the years of tyranny ;
S.O.S" "
Under the wrecks
Over the dust
From the heart of darkness,
Dimness,
I call with all my voice,
Death overcomes me
Any answer ?
Any one can help ?

****

By name of Moses
By name of Jesus
And Prophet Mohammed
By name of
The most Glorious
The only one
The strongest
The Creator
The healer
The highest
The only one
The strongest
The highest
Can anyone answer ?
Death overcomes me….
Death overcomes me…
Under the wrecks of Doyakka* .

By name of Moses
By name of Jesus
And Prophet Mohammed ,
By name of God
The most glorious, The magnificent,
The strongest ,
The creator ,The healer ,
And the Highest,
Any answer ?
Any helper ?
Death overcomes me …..
Death overcomes me …..
Under the wrecks of Doyakka* !

****
"If Your Majesty is still angry with me
I will not care …."
To whom Your Majesty are leaving me ?
You, The justice of Heavens
Has not Sisyphus paid for all his sins , yet ?!
****
To day is the day of martyrs
The day of sacrifice
The day of land
The day of dignity
The tenth of Ramadan
Here is Al-Doykkah
The martyrs met warmly
The blood is unified
The Egyptian flag is still held
On the hill of Al-Doykkah
The pure hill
On the pure bank of the Suez Canal
Giving more life to Egypt
Renewing the sacred oath
Fulfilling the sacred promise
From the heart of the random houses ,
From Al-Aqsa ..to Dar For ,
From Baghdad,
Through silence,
The sound was lost,
Cameras are scratching my soul
And the false, deceiving words ..!


Today is the day of constancy
Can any one answer ..?
A call :
For the United Nations,
The Arab States,
The Revolutionary councils,
Central, The
We are calling
Is there any answer ?
S.O.S
*****








Sorry your storage is finished
from air,
constancy,
loyalty,
and even a drink of water !!
*****
Over the Suez canal
From the district of Al-Ghareeb,
In Sues ,
The souls embraced ,
The souls of martyrs are
Carrying the morning with them
The caravan of martyrs moved
Procession of light In
Tears were shed
In the midday
Drops of scent
Tears fell down
Wetting the forehead of a young soldier
Wearing his dusty clothes
Fasting Ramadan in the hot
Struggling the rocks
the blackness of yesterday swallowing
Remembering his father, the martyr ,
"Abd Al-hameed " *
On the tenth o Ramadan (the sixth of October )
Sacrificed his soul for Egypt
The souls embraced , gathered ,
Over Al-Doykka
Breaking the rocks ,
a white life- tyre of rescue was in his hand
With the color of purity !

Recalling :
A message is coming out of the wrecks
From the inhabitants of the graves
The bareness ,
The emptiness,
The homeless
Who are living in tents ,
In graves ,
From Al- Dabbah,
From Der- Yassen,
From the graves of the unknown solider,
From Karballa
From Jerusalem
Across the whole nations
To those who died
Without coffins
And covered with the sky
With nothing :
Is there A new crossing
To new dawn
To tomorrow
weeping the shame away from us
And washing the tears of the martyrs? !
