No

No I had a desire to be a martyr to my word To quench my desire for justice with the Peak of my poor pen To quash intolerance, racism, tribalism, tyranny And quell my cowardice and my people’s Stigma and egoism I had a desire to be a martyr to my word To break up with my people’s demoralizing jokes That are ignorance and human rights’ Violation I had a desire to oppose the patriarchal society Of thousands of egoisms With its uprooted self-absorbed traditional emirates Hedged around with blindly and worldly pseudo-scholars Who help to spread heinous racial prejudices On the indigenous people No to nepotism, tribalism, ethnocentrism, and tyranny No to all the diktates of the outlaw Who call themselves emirs in the republic!

IT IS GOOD TO MILITATE IN FAVOUR OF THE CESSATION OF THE INJUSTICES AND THE VIOLATIONS OF THE HUMAN RIGHT. IT A PROOF OF BRAVOUR FOR EVERYONE WHO TRY TO DO IT.
