He Set Himself Aflame

Is there no better way?

Painting- The impassioned face of a man on fire- Moh’d Bilbeisi, 2017
“Abraham Requesting an Audience” -Moh’d Bilbeisi, 2017 (collaborator)

He set himself aflame
He did not understand
Who is it takes the blame,
Who answers for the man?

Play a cynical game,
Lay your failures at the feet
Of others that you claim
Must answer for the thief.
