Painting by Akbar Behkalam, Iran-Germany<\/p>\n

BEARERS OF SCARS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The dead with broken faces rise up
\nThe tongue of the humiliated swells
\nThe stormy tide of victims rises
\nBut beware bearers of scars<\/p>\n

Extinguish in your flesh the volcanoes of hate
\nStomp the sting and spit out the venom<\/p>\n

that would one day make you look like the executioners<\/p>\n

Silence those bugles, those bells forcing sameness commanding vengeance<\/p>\n

Question your guts
\nRip off your masks
\nBe different.<\/p>\n

ANDR\u00c9E CHEDID<\/strong>, Egypt-France (1920-2011)
\nTranslation Germain Droogenbroodt \u2013 Stanley Barkan<\/strong><\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Porteurs de cicatrices \/ Les morts aux visages rompus se redressent \/ La langue des humili\u00e9s se gonfle
\nOrageuse se l\u00e8ve la mar\u00e9e des victimes \/\/ Mais prenez garde porteurs de cicatrices! \/\/ \u00c9teignez dans vos chairs les
\nvolcans de la haine \/\/ Pi\u00e9tinez l’aiguillon et crachez le venin \/ qui vous apparenteraient un jour aux bourreaux \/
\n\u00c9touffez ces clairons ces sonneries qui forcent la ressemblance qui commandent le talion \/ Questionnez vos visc\u00e8res
\nPercez vos propres masques \/Soyez autres!<\/p>\n
