Strategic Pleading by Syrian poet Muhammad Al-Maghut (my translation):

"While sitting behind my desk in the bottom
of society, there came to my attention
dispersed voices from everywhere
Streets: don't clean us
glass: don't wipe us
trees: don't water us
the hungry: don't feed us
traitors: don't exonerate us
martyrs: don't bury us
the displaced: don't shelter us
the children: don't breastfeed us
the injured: don't treat us
wild wheat: don't harvest us
dark streets: don't light us
traffic jams: don't organize us
suicide victims: don't save us
the oppressed: don't do justice to us
the prisoners: don't release us
occupied lands: don't liberate us

Tell Arab revolutionaries to leave us alone."
