This Life
Just a simple girl am I
like a bird wild and free
so many places to go
and wondrous things to see-
Here in Egypt
so different from the west
it's hard to say
which thing's I
love the best-
In USA
burgers, pizza, salty fries
all the goodies my oh my
but here in Egypt
none of those things
you will see
so please bring
McDonald's here
to me-
The ways to say
I love you
so different than before
in Egypt the words
bahebek so much more-
So a country girl I was
and country girl I will
always be
for my simple
little life
is quite enough
for me-
This poem is about the differences between USA and Egypt
