If I were God
By/ Layla Saklawi
IF I were a God…
I’d make my creation live in a single Abode..
Under a roof of ; Love, Music & Poetry…
& I would make the Universe to All a One & only Country…!
I would organise in my Sky an Infantry…
& enrol the Moon, the Stars & the Clouds in my Ministry…
To Forbid all flying wars Machinery…
Into my Skies from Entry…!!!
On the maps of all lands, I would Eradicate….
Every frontier, every Line-marking the limits of each Estate…!
I would make the sounds of rain, an Oriental musical Symphony…
& I would change the darkness of Nights into Days, bright & Sunny…!
I would make on every Tree…
To All birds a Nest in the shape of a love Sanctuary…
For them to snugle at all seasons, & feel Free…!
If I were a God ; I’d want my favourite Prophet…
To be a Romantic & Sensitive Poet…!
Who would make of all Prayers; The single Practice…
Of sharing Love in the Aim of a Global PEACE…!!!
And I would declare as an act of Sanctity..
the total Inviolability…
Of a fair & Just sense of Humanity…!
And I wouldn’t make any Amendments
To the Supreme God’s TEN Commandments…!!!
مااجمل كلماتك الشاعرة المتألقة ليلى سقلاوي ، كل قطعة تاخذنا الى عالمك المميز ونعيش ونشاركك نفس المشاعر بكل حب .دمتي معطاءة .
انه حلم كل إنسان ان نعيش في عالم يحكمه الشعر… نهار دائم لا ليل فيه مع اننا ننحرم من النجوم والقمر ملهم الشعراء.. شعاره الموسيقى .. الحب والسلام….لا يعرف معنى الحروب
..الطمع…الجشع…الحقد…
الكراهية والحسد…
انه عالم الأحلام…..
لو كنتِ إلَها لغَفوت على صدرك
وانت تخلقين هذا العالم المثالي..
