Uruk's Anthem (extract)
by Adnan al-Sayegh

The invaders come after the tyrants,
the tyrants come after the invaders
and nothing happens…
they replace handcuffs
with other handcuffs
and prisons
with other….
And time stretches out
in hunger
exile
and oppression
while they keep going,
generation after generation
