Why are we asleep

Lubna Salameh
Welcoming everyone with a big hi while eating an apple pie

Pretending to be shy knowing that it’s a big lie

Not looking to the other side where you see people die

Searching for an apple pie, needing to cry, wishing to fly

Looking up towards the sky asking why?!!!

Questioning until when are we going to stay on living in these conditions?

Until when are we going to stay on suffering in such situations?

Everything is turning out to be beyond our expectations

As if life is going towards a strange circulation

Noticing it through many exemplifications

Asking is this the future living we wished for in our generation?

Leaving the answer in our imagination as an exclamation!!
