That Duel Before Yule

If mate is away, refrain from romance; For those ever horny have yet much to fear, To be neath the hoofs of those seven reindeer.

(SALEM) - "Want a Knight before Christmas, alas, fondest gift,
To warm forth my pillow, and bestow a lift,
For Arthur is off in some distant turf,
And with my fab figure, won't settle for serf!"

This utterance came from Queen Guinevere,
Knowing that King and his staff weren't near;
A lonely heart pining for marvel of mate
To fulfill her empties, but what be her fate?

In Memory Of A People With A Land

A bereft generational repository mournfully binds together blood, tears and broken bones...

(LONDON) - A wailing poignancy tearing at the very heart of a much troubled core

Drenched in a blood soaked landscape incessantly scarred by murderous lore...

A Most Familiar Drama... Murder Most Foul...

Genocidal Israel robs young babes of their lives to be
Under the auspices of its American heel
Soul blood-stained Israel proclaims unabashed victory

(LONDON) - Aided and abetted by its coalition of the willing
Plundering Israel tears a thirst-deprived people and its parched land asunder
Under the auspices of its American heel
Raiding Israel steals away every last of drop of water
Aided and abetted by its coalition of the willing
Steadfastly Israel polishes its shameful democratic veneer
Under the auspices of its American heel
Unremitting Israel progresses its illegal apartheid tier...

Wal-Mart v. Black Friday

Wal-Mart appreciates the hard working that serve, Worth $$$$$ paying minimum what a lot of nerve...

(CLEVELAND) - Is this a correct title well, actually no it ain’t,
But, neither is it as far off as some might think,
The biggest shopping day of every single year,
So does the giant retailer have anything to fear?

27 countries and 69 banners, over 10,000 stores,
Are hourly employees justified in seeking more?
2 million workers serving 200 million every week,
Sales for 2011 reached 443.9 billion as their peak.

`The Greatest Running Back Under Four Feet Tall`

This 9 year-old girl is truly amazing...

Goodness is Life

Forces of darkness knows no way, to put off the light of one faint ray...

(LONDON) - We all have seen the crime scene
Broadcasted live on our TV screens
We have seen the blood flowing
We have heard the deafening screams

The murder-weapon is known to all
Signed "with love" by hearts of ice
It thundered down with a "gracious" fall

I Dream of a Country

[Inspired by Meena Kandasamy’s ;  “I Dream Of An English”]

When you are a Palestinian

Translation by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

(LONDON) - When you are a Palestinian
You would need daily practice of hiding tears
And swallowing huge chunk of wishes
Overflowing from your reality

In front of which you stand flabbergasted
Wondering who’d find the genie’s lamp
That would bring back your olive tree,
the straw tray and the sea fragrance?
