Oh people, I have become sultan over you Smash your idols after a long darkness Worship me. I am not always visible to you so sit patiently on the sidewalk until you see me. Leave your children without bread Leave your women without men and follow me. Praise be to Allah for his blessings He sent me to write your history and history cannot be written without me. Every time I thought of abdicating power my conscience devoured me. Who, after me, will rule the good people? Who, after me, will cure the lame, the cripple, the leper, the blind? And who will summon the dead back to life? Who will bring the people the rain? Who will administer to them ninety lashes who will crucify them on the trees who will force them to live like cattle? And die like cattle? Every time I thought of leaving them my tears overflowed I trusted my fate to God and I decided to ride this people from now until Judgment Day. NIzar Qabbani
