Winter and Compunction
To whom do we initially affiliate =
With whom do we really associate
We are missing such a common aim=
We adhere to nothing. What a shame
Completely adrift, we’re made for surrender=
Made to bow low to a lower pretender
Yielding up every thing we’ve been given=
Living with the long odds of being forgiven
Of no avail boastful of our past brave=
Still cheering the one in the grave
Who could ever become greater=
We marched with him as leader.
Feeling rather hanged for losing face=
Consent whole to scandal and disgrace
That apparently came to our doors =
With a mere scaring out of force
Holy precincts clearly violated =
Arab dignity deeply insulted
They vanished like a mist=
Not a nightmare or a jest
Shall we stand up afresh ?=
Wrestle those now poised to tarnish
And confronting peril lain =
Elimination negligence prove vain
Will spring come to us again =
Will Arabness rid us of pain?
To protect dignity violated=
To restore land invaded
