I walk around carrying a knife in my coat
Because this world has become terrible
And on TV they warn us against each other
Now no one is safe
I roam the street and turn left and right
Like a bewildered deer in the hyenas valley
Because a mysterious person follows me everywhere
and His suspicious looks surround me
Black clouds also surround a small goat lost in the wild
Yesterday He gave me a drink and He gasped and stretched out his hand to shake hands
I pushed him with all my strength and ran away
At the end of the street I found people who were panting
The handles and knives are looking out of their pockets
Like snakes' heads at the burrows holes
We panted together for two seconds
then I greeted them
They fled running, creating chaos
Like a fox in a chicken coop!
