“يأتي ويذهب
يأتي حين أنفصل
عن الظلال وأنسى موعدي معه

لا نلتقي ابدا
في وقتنا خلل..
ولا يلوح عن بعد ...لأتبعه

كأنه الشعر..
او ما يترك الحجل
من الخيال ويغويني لأُرجعه

ما الشيء هذا الذي
يأتي ولا يصل
الا غيابا ،فأخشى أن اضيعه

لا شيء، أحلم احيانا
وأرتجل
حلما يعانق حلما كي نوسعه

فلا أكون سوى حلمي..
ولي جبل
ملقى على الغيم ، يدعوني لأرفعه

أعلى من الغيم إشراقا
وبي امل
يأتي ويذهب..
لكن لن اودعه..”

“If greed were not the master of modern man--ably assisted by envy--how could it be that the frenzy of economism does not abate as higher "standards of living" are attained, and that it is precisely the richest societies which pursue their economic advantage with the greatest ruthlessness? How could we explain the almost universal refusal on the part of the rulers of the rich societies--where organized along private enterprise or collective enterprise lines--to work towards the humanisation of work? It is only necessary to assert that something would reduce the "standard of living" and every debate is instantly closed. That soul-destroying, meaningless, mechanical, monotonous, moronic work is an insult to human nature which must necessarily and inevitably produce either escapism or aggression, and that no amount of of "bread and circuses" can compensate for the damage done--these are facts which are neither denied nor acknowledged but are met with an unbreakable conspiracy of silence--because to deny them would be too obviously absurd and to acknowledge them would condemn the central preoccupation of modern society as a crime against humanity.”
