It's claimed
that each of us is a unique piece from God;
How amazing!
Well, then, somebody tell me
why we are not able to come together
and create the real justice
with the divine power on the Earth;
Is it because a great number of humans
are Falllen Angels
or the source of evils ,
Or wish to be the best ornaments
in the Aden of Devils?

There once was a lusty bar-maiden
Born in the Republic of Aden --
You'd order your drink
She'd give you a wink --
She hoped for a kiss on the trade-in

A Man from Sweden
There was a man from Sweden,
Who married a Yemeni maiden,
He had to wear the futah,
And daily eat the Saltah,
So he could lead a happy life in Aden.

Somali Pirates prowl the Gulf of Aden
For merchant vessels with cargo laden
From the tenement rows of Puntland
Poor fishermen, ex-militia turned brigand
Now pledge fealty to the lucrative capitalist brand
Which polluted their waters and denuded their coast land
Fitted mercenaries scout the narrow strand
Booty and hostages from itinerant ships to remand
From mother ship, crafty navigators plot vessels' course
In speedy skiffs, armed with guile and every pliable resource
Stealthily stalk their prey gratuitous demands to enforce
Their mantra greed; ransom and loot their tour de force
Battering ram of rocket, grenade; calm hands from cargo to divorce
With hooks, ladder springing aboard, subduing crew with little discourse
Pilfering their bounty; enslaving the crew without remorse

On the street between the impeachment
and castle a divine release was being
enacted engaging the durable peace in seething winter.
A somber black cloud of smoke was
slowly reclaiming the sun.
A disgraced militant was pounding his chest
for not killing priceless bees
who were initializing the flowers of Aden. The
death was laid out in a row before the child
was born. Dead prophets were watching from the eyes of dolls.

A HAUNTED FISHER
A hawk - sighted and decided young fisher;
Traps skillfully, fishes for his wisher;
Waving and sliding water - hills over;
With howls of 'hurray', grows ever.
Now a wisher, decrees vessels;
And fishes millions of dreams and pearls;
Blunts swords of sun and might of whirls;
The spheres of storms and lightening, hurls.
A god of holdings turns all to gold;
Life to moving circular fold;
Time to scarce diamonds mould;
And occasions to sudden perches for hold.
Possess a paradise with Hedden;
Breaks brutally into the forbidden;
Inflows and outflows hidden;
Landslides and gullies end Aden.
Fast after flying dreams, unheard, till;
Fast typhoon tosses, waves, spill;
Quacks and wrecks whiflashing castle, fill;
Wakes of the storms died and waters calm still.
Now where is the floating tower?
Flying dreams and manifold power;
Where is the longed Hedden and Aden’s lover?
Isn't the ocean calm blue and tempting ever???
