From The Notebooks of Fog by Syrian poet Muhammad Al-Maghut (my translation):
"I like doors not guests
Fences not fields
Bells not herds
Dogs not loyalty
Childhood not children
Work not workers
Whips not prisoners
Saddles not knights
Arena not clappers
Waves not saviors
Freedom not free people
Revolution not revolutionaries
Homelands not the peoples
And I love my homeland without
borders, maps, hotels, trenches,
schools, customs, and police stations
and national waters, or airspace
but thunder and lightening and
snow storms and cloudy skies
as far as the eye can see!!
To fear it, and for it!!"
