The late Syrian writer and poet wrote / Muhammad Al-Maghout / : To Whom filled my heart with terror And my head is graying early and forced me shed tears And made my chest is coughing And made me barefoot And filled my night with insomnia And my dreams are nightmares They denied me my innocence as a child Waking like an old man And my eloquence as a speaker Be patient as a listener And take me like a prince And my corner as a beggar and my surprised as a traveler And my longing as a return Then they took my sword as a warrior And my pen as a poet My feather as a painter And my guitar is like a gypsy They gave me everything on the way to the cemetery. What do I tell them more than a violin says to a storm?
