Man Against Man

By Ahmed Ali Salim

A flag is hoisted on this land

It says:

“Your heavens have been turned into sand”

“The gates of hell are no more manned,

Your world is dying” says the man.

Someone had to stand against this monstrous clan.

So once more man stood against man

Armies were again raised in his name

Trumpets were blown

As they took their aim.

Bullets were fired on his land

Blood was spilled by our holy hands

And;

This is how heavens finally turned into sand
