The chance



The chance
By :Atef  Al-gendi
(To a Christian friend)
Translated by :
Hassan hegazy Hassan
////
My friend,
Calm down,
 This matter needs a spacious open heart
We came to life one day,
We were the only grasp of wind?!

By chance, I believed what the Prophet said,
By accident, I believed
What the Christ said
When we inherited the religion
 From the house of the forefathers

As we inherit the ِِِAgate or the tin
We have done nothing
We have no grace  
It is the crippled luck to bless!

You could have been as I am
And I will be just like you  
Lived comfortably in the cross
Let Your Jesus holds
All the groups and join me
I have left my intolerance  
And saying that the religion
Which is different from that in my identity
Is an explicit error

This space embrace us all
And includes thousands of sores
By any right or any logic
We kill each other
And all in this world is
 Just a sacrifice?!
