Nageh Ahmed: “Like Dolly the Sheep”

Επιμέλεια: Εύα Πετροπούλου Λιανού

Like Dolly the Sheep
You want to see
Wool for everyone
On top of the sheep
Shearing it
Spinning fearfully
Your suit
As if silk were monopolized
Standing
Still waiting for those on earth
Guests living
Like Dolly the Sheep
Under your hand
The blood of the poor
Don’t tell me
It’s unknown
Like Dolly the Sheep
Passing through a generation
Of pride and dignity
On the margins of history
With arranged words
And tying them up with debt by the thousands
Like Dolly the Sheep
Creating for me a tyrannical generation
Sold their conscience
And bought favor with their silence
Acting like a parrot without letters
Blind
Without shame
Like the sheep
Everything in front of it is eager
And what’s behind it is fat
Because it’s well-fed
Like Dolly the Sheep
At the time of the eclipse
You created fear
Inside the caves
And the light blinds with two eyes
No Wake up and don’t see
Only a picture holding
Strong and healthy
Meaning a familiar, powerful one
From the lump in your throat
You look like a fool
Standing gambling with swords
We have a capable Lord
Who knows how to mend what’s broken
And manage expenses
And make the distant one accessible
