Best Sheiks Poems

PRELUDE
There has always been animosity between Greece and Turkey as far back in history as we wish to go.  Greece was occupied by the Turks during the Middle-Ages for almost 500 years.  My ancestors from my Mother’s side were Greek.
They lived in Smyrna...

A pyramid tour
On my bucket list
Approach by camels
Cross an oasis

Play mahjong with sheiks
In hot desert tents
Where harem girls dance
Through wafting incense

Explore monuments
With ancient secrets
Engraved sarcophagi
Sanskrit alphabet

The airfare alone
Would make some withdraw
Camel rental's high
The pricetag's the flaw

To cross the ocean
For vacation viva
Need huge chunk of change
From...

I turned over the channel
to come in on the end 
of a documentary
Islam a chant flowing 

through the town
we hate america 
we hate the jews
it was like a football match

I see myself first class relaxing in my own plane
Having my own estate walking with pride down my own lane
With fields and servants working on my plantation of sugarcane
Then all will bow to me even that silly boy in my class....Lexy Kane
My siblings are at...

Sheiks and Sultans kingdom's revolt
Citizens ire and fervour a shocking jolt
Unleashing coffers, promising change they molt
While cleansing their streets with rifle and Colt

Western pots fizzle and stew
Chafing but swallowing the spicy brew
Heartburn follows; the potion they slowly chew
The side effects their sensitive systems do rue...

Should a Sheik seek a shave
Who'd shave a Sheik,
Sheik shavers should surely
So Sheik shavers Sheiks seek.

The sun never rose, the moon never set
Yet filled with light eyes can never get
Filled it is also with other things,
Not spoken about among living beings.

The wafting sounds are "Nothing", they say,
Just the dangling toys of "Nature's Play",
OH! But they are so unlike the buzzing...

September noon was hot
I sat alone in a crowd

My counterfeit leather boots were cheap vinyl,
Like traces of gas in a puddle,
They shone an iridescent rainbow

I wanted faded “501’S” but wore
“Monkey Wards” counterfeit denim

My skin no longer fits; I was alone in a crowd

The bleachers flanking...

Cat got your tongue? Hey what’s the matter?
Why ain’t you sayin’ what’s there inside?
If I were somebody who didn’t know better,
I’d say you been simplified

Simplified, simplified
There’s forces all around you, son
And they’re tryin’ to stem the tide
Simplified – you been simplified

White versus black, Right versus...
