محمود جمال في ثنائية شعرية عن ”الحرب والسلام. العقاب والسماح. بين حديثك عن الجحيم وحديثي عن الجنّة. بين أن تحلُم بالسيف وأتغنى بالورود. بين رغبتك بالدمار ورغبتي بالبناء… بيننا: أنا وأنت“
من مجموعته الشعرية: ”حبة دواء بطعم السكّر“
Poem by, Mahmood Jamal
You want to speak of War
I want to speak of Peace.
You say Punish
I say Forgive
You speak of God’s Wrath
I speak of His Mercy
Your Quran is a Weapon
My Quran is a Gift
You speak of the Muslim brotherhood
I speak of the brotherhood of Man
You like to Warn others
I like to Welcome them
You like to speak of Hell
I like to speak of Heaven.
You talk of Lamentation
I talk of Celebration.
You worship the Law
I worship the Divine.
You want Silence
I want Music
You want Death
I want Life
You speak of Power
I speak of Love.
You search out Evil
I warm to the Good
You dream of the Sword
I sing of the Rose petal
You say the world is a Desert
I say the world is a Garden
You prefer the Plain
I prefer the Adorned
You want to Destroy
I want to Build
You want to go Back
I want to move Forward
You are busy Denying
I am busy Affirming
Yet there might be one thing
on which we see eye to eye
You want Justice
So do I.
