By Fadi Abu Deeb

What I want does not exist in this place

The science that I chase is hidden in the antique shops/

And people of high ranks don’t know about it.

The books that I’m looking for are not sold/

In the bookshops of those Who Rule by the Command of God’s Name

The science that I desire consumes a lifetime

But the masters of this world do not possess their own time

O people, I need what you don’t possess…

Woe to you…Babylon has fallen!
