“_ أيقظُوني عندما يمتلكُ الشعبُ زِمامَهْ .

عندما ينبسِطُ العدلُ بلا حَدٍّ أمامهْ .

عندما ينطقُ بالحقِ ولا يَخشى المَلامَةْ .

عندما لا يستحي منْ لُبْسِ ثوبِ ألا ستقامةْ

ويرى كلَ كُنوزِ الأرضِ

لا تَعْدِلُ في الميزانِ مثقالَ كَرامهْ .

_ سوفَ تستيقظُ .. لكنْ

ما الذي يَدعوكَ للنَّومِ إلى يومِ القِيامَةْ ؟”
― أحمد مطر

“ربما كنت دوما سجينة دون أن ألحظ ذلك,تماما كمخلوقات دكان بائع الحيوانات الأليفة..وربما كنت أعي سجني دوما واحاول كسر قبضتي,وما شوقي الدائم إلي الأفق و السماء إلا من بعض شوقي الي الحرية الداخليه.. الحرية الحقيقية لا حرية التنقل فقط في سجن كبير جدرانه هي حدوده و اسمه الوطن!”

I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
