My poetry           
          (Mountassir Aziz   )

                                                                                     

I want my poetry..
To be peace and love
I want my poetry..
To tear up the shrouds
I want my poetry..
To transform
The soldier
Into a civil citizen
I want my poetry..
The turn my absence
Into windows '
And orphans 'tears
I want my poetry..
To be a planet
Without which
The nations are dark
I want my poetry..
To be that kind of peace
That will fight
with the weapons of love,
Of coexistence
and of security
I want my poetry ..
To be a brotherhood hug
Between Arabs
and the world
Far from the  wars
And far from the smokes
On oceans and seas
Where the waves are calm
And where
They address the mounts
With bounty
I want my poetry
To make the sea sands
Be full of peace
