“If the world were flat
like a magic carpet,
our sorrow would have a beginning and an end.

If the world were square,
we would lie low in a corner
when the war plays "hide and seek."

If the world were round,
our dreams would take turns on the ferris wheel,
and we would be equal.”
Dunya Mikhail, The Iraqi Nights
“If the world were flat,
like a flying carpet,
our sorrow would have a beginning and an end.

If the world were square,
we'd lie low in a corner
whenever the war plays hide and seek.

If the world were round,
our dreams would take turns on the Ferris wheel, and we'd all be equal.”
Dunya Mikhail, The Iraqi Nights
