This collection consists of eight poems, the longest of which is "A toast to the homeland", which portrays a drunk Arab, and the more he drinks, the more desperate and daring he becomes, thus he crosses all the "red lines".
The poem is like a round of 20 drinks, each drink is a few lines of poetry linked to the part before it and the part after it. The poem was inspired by the downfall of Baghdad. As for the rest of the poems in this collection, they are a political vision in an artistic form of the current status of both the leaders and the peoples of the Arab nation, that proves a defect in the leadership.
A dedication:
To all those who helped me publish this collection and to all those who tried to prevent it!
