country (Remove filter)
Waiting
Documenting the silence
the bus stop is almost reclaimed by nature
until the bus arrives after a long conversation
with the broken country path
in a meditative rhythm each morning
disgorging the mood
its wheels on cast aside leaves
inbetween the sun barely awake
in the early morning sky
and the sinking moon
recording the moment afterwards
restlessly in symmetries in gentle wind

four room house
little four room house
little four room house
had an old tin roof
when it stormed
rain made wonderful sounds
for the boy
lying in bed listening
daddy said it sounded like
a cow peeing
daddy resented
the rain on
the tin roof because roof leaked
daddy and boy would have
to climb ladder to attic to
empty the coffee cans spaced

summer nights 1950s
summer nights 1950s
curtains hang lifeless
awaiting breeze that does not come
whippoorwill sings
hot and sweaty song
it doesn’t feel like singing
boy hears whistle’s blast
of a night train
slowly crawling its way
through the country side
breaking the silence at each crossing
ambulance sirens scream
through hot night air
transporting wounded

The choice
Translation of my Arabic Poem (“The Choice”)
Who, in the World, chooses his birth?
Who chooses his family and children?
Who chooses his fate and country?
Who chooses the time to go to heaven?
But it is possible to choose our day
To sincerely care about family and work
This will be the first right step to our future
To achieve our goals while we're alive
Your name and countr...

The Theater
The Theater
Today, we're together
Tomorrow, we're apart
As Cinema .. as the Theater,
An End for the Start
Thanks to God for Life
To work .. earn and learn
Pray .. to keep Survive
Happiness to reach and Yearn
Surely, you're assigned
For a role to achieve a goal
Unless you've that mind
You need to heal your soul

Calon Cymru
I have always been
On the bleak bald mountain
I have dwelt through the ages
At the deep source of the fountain
Guardian of all knowledge:
Before they knew me
I was here
When this land was fashioned around my soul
Sole guardian uncrowned
Then I loved this mortal mound
Tenured on God's holy ground
I have always been
At the brow of the hill
I was th...

Oh How Then
Oh How Then
The powers that be took us into this mess
And we as people decided to act
Yes that’s right we banged our pans and spoons
Screeching ENOUGH IS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
You there over there yes you in Europe
With your plans and rules and laws and languages
We are English and do not want your rules
Or to be ruled by you from citadel Europe
What will we gain from this?

Show me the country ...
Show me the country
Where they glorify the torture.
Where people are hungry
And the well- known murderer,
Can walk freely and be free.
Show me the country
Where everyone is deceived
And the people are cleaved,
The backward there means forward,
Where to say the truth is awkward.
Don’t rotate the globe
With a hope to find this country.
You won't find it on the pl...

Flash Mob
Flash Mob,
We're the greatest gangsters
since the Wild Wild West.
For what we do
we're the very best.
We're the Flash Mob,
We're the Flash Mob.
Back in Chi Town they were run by Capone
I prefer to make a racket with my Al CaBone.
Hipsters think the Flash Mob is all about Twitter
but just like Babe Ruth I'm a heavy hitter.
This is a stick ...

I SAW HER WALK IN - Country Love
I was feeling so low...didn't know which way to go
When I saw her walk in through the door
She looked straight at me like I was all she could see
And I floated clear up from the floor
Her gaze held my eyes like the stars in the skies
I've never felt anything so strong
The other guys stared and I was feeling so scared
Could it be I was reading things wrong?
