Death of spontaneity
lamentations for lost childhood
the matrix loaded
o father o mother
the thing is me
o sister o brother
the thing is me
o woman o man o sea
the thing is me
o sun o stars o world
the thing is me
I carry the secret can’t you see?
The most precious secret
Its is within you and me
P R O V E I T ! get it approved and certified
and when I moved to prove
I died
and lied
and you HEARD AND BELIEVED ME AT LAST !
but I cried..
frozen tears..
for I was no more
but was an actor ..
I had to cheat, imitate and pretend
for I moved no more
but thought I moved..
I indulged in elaborate action
simulating movement artifice and art
I acted victory and glory with all my might
with great success
lucky.. wretched.. man
that can weave a world of lies
and think it true !
Through and through
and prove it true ! Mathematically,electronically, authoritatively
Without a shadow of doubt
and someone else throbbed and danced
o father o mother
the thing is me
o sister o brother
the thing is me and you
the truth is here
the truth is now
the truth is near and far
within this soft, wonderful and vulnerable thing
t'is in my throbbing heart and pulsating brain and yours
AND YOU INSISTED...
P R O V E I T F I R S T !
WE DEMAND APPROVAL, CERTIFICATION!
one plus one equals two one plus two equals three
three plus three equals seven
one minus one equals nothing
nothing nothing nothing equals infinity
How to unload the MATRIX?

excellant write Tarek.This screams " prove it"..the only proof I need is how I feel,too much emphasis on logic reason in this world..prehaps that is why we have lost so much..if we can 'prove 'somethng then we feel in control,of higher value..but if it's just a feeling,we discount it as worthless!Well not for me reason and logic,the greatest thing on earth is love and how does one prove that..feeling.Long LIve Spontaneity!Long Live Faith,Long live Feeling.Prehaps the next 'age' will be of the soul,of the unproven,unlogical.
You are indeed a great writer,making the reader think,ponder,feel..thankyou
Greetings in Peace,
I read your poem after having read your article elsewhere on Eurocentrism, which already had left me with a lump in my throat. So I was predisposed to feeling the pain in your writing. So much pain, so much tragedy, so much sadness.
The irony is that our own Amish and Old Order Mennonites here in the States share many practices with third world populations for which they're well respected rather than disdained. And on top of that, they smile all the way to the bank because they profit around $130 from an acre of land by their traditional farming methods, whereas the corporate farms are lucky to make $10 an acre. I guess what I'm trying to say is hold your head high the same as Amish and Mennonite and don't succumb to cultural programming, which is financed in Egypt by the United States. Besides Israel, Egypt recieves the most foreign aid from the U.S., which pays for loading your MATRIX. But as the Amish and Mennonite have demonstrated, one can still find freedom in an unfree world without having to do like Absaal and Hayy Ibn Yaqzaan and hideout on an uninhabited Indian island.
Peace in our time.
Astonishing write Tarak! You teach us to delve and ponder the truths which are so often obfuscated by lies!I love your work ! Thank you for sharing it with us!
