By Otman Boukhzar - Tetouan
Nothing pleases me
Everything looks so dark and obscure
I am no longer feeling glad and secure
I have lost any interest in everything around me
Deep inside I feel a plot being knit against me
Everything in this raped reality is incapable of giving me a pleasure
Playing, eating, conversing and my full time leisure
*********
Nothing pleases me
Everything is going astray
Virtues declining, nations down falling
We are now standing in the abyss
Brainwashed, following the un-followed
Chanting the mottoes of stolen victory
Cherishing a bitter reality
And immersing in social hypocrisy
Allowing those who raped our grandfathers
To use the same bed to rape us as well
*********
Nothing pleases me is the full truth
How do you want me to hide it and say otherwise?
To pretend that everything is alright
We all know that nothing pleases us in this earth
Where corruption, tyranny, killing are the prevailing pleasure since birth
*********
Wait a minute!! As there is something that pleases us all
Knowing that God is there, brings us joy and kindles our hearts all.
