Abu

As an Arab guest 
magnetizes all eyes, 
local VIPs get RIP 
status. Abu sticks
his love on Arab’s
forehead. Sweet 
vibes waft up with
the spicy smell of 
the feast. Abu plans	
another plaza above  
the dunes in Dubai. He
makes his daughter’s 	
wedding unique with
the imported charm. 


Currency blocks his
arteries. Love doesn’t
flow. He’s gifted his
wife with a desert.

Our new generation is
enchanted by Abu’s
flames of splendor.
He creates a culture
of earning over learning.
Material spring will be
followed by an autumn .
