"...are beneath this shoe of mine"

Iraqi poet Mudhaffar An-Nawwab (my translation):
"...and the sun could rise setting
due to our sadness,
hunger speaks since our birth
and death and sand grow old with us
foreigners--no matter how much we fight--
and the eunuchs-rulers are the true Arabs
a ruler whose stature and dignity
are beneath this shoe of mine..."
* As is known, shoes are offensive in Arab culture.
