As a poet I write about people
As a politician you decide about people
As a poet I write about people
who care for human rights
As a politician you decide about people
who care for human rights
As a poet I love to write
As a politician you love to decide
As a poet I love to write
about people who care for human rights
As a politician you love to decide
about people who care for human rights
As a poet I love human rights
As a politician you love human rights
Don’t we?
As a poet I write about people
in Guantánamo Bay
About Hussain Salem Mohammed Almefedi
who is in Guantánamo Bay for nine years now
without a fair process
without a fair treatment.
As a politician you decide about people
in Guantánamo Bay.
Please, take care of them.
Yours sincerely,
