Rabat, Morocco

Human life is cheap
All people sailing on a ship

They don’t know where to head to

They feel in a labyrinth all

They become like a mashed puppet

Owing to the flown time bite

Everyone struggling for his own aims

To survive and enjoy his prurient whims

The destiny is black

Due to man’s knowledge lack

Why the flesh is willing?

And the spirit is weak?

Till when they keep on this barren land?

When will the day come to fulfill their dreams?

Instead of waiting for Godot

And live independently without any queers?

Can’t they move ahead?

Can’t they realize the Eldorado

Where everyone can live in peace

And with full bliss?
