one must simply go with the flow
the penumbra stands waivering its existence,
a kind of deactivation, fuzzy borderline hanging, 
backing the art...

Changing The Mind's Diaper

My mind is clouded and I just had these thoughts
So much going on my head is constipated

I used to be obsessed with fashion, caring far too much about clothes,
Like the sun whenever he's coming and going, is striking vanity's pose.

I lavished absurdly upon my wardrobe, in excess of what was practical,
Like...

And I held onto Alkaiya, surrendering to fate for our death to be

The wonderful truth I came to share
Father forgive them they know not what they do

And the Tunisian government took it away.

The ‘Arab Spring’ began on that day,
Causing the Tunisian leader to give...

Of a time of trial and glory
