The Blue Nile
Unveils your 
Ethiopian eyes
Then cleave
Our souls
Into this
Red Sea...

This heart 
Shall rise
Like an 
Ethiopian sun
This night
Shall end
Through these
Ethiopian eyes...

can we hear
the indigo smiles,
the golden laughter
and the
spiritual
chants
of the
Ethiopian

Against your
Smooth skin
As dark as this
Ethiopian night
Your heart sparkles
Like candy red apples
This I am sure and still are
Exquisite orange sunset sail
Across your Ethiopian eyes...

wrappers

I love food wrappers
Korean lettuce wrapped around meet
Korean seaweed wrapped around fish
Mexican tortilla wraps
Ethiopian bread wraps
and lately
naked burger wraps
so many things 
to enjoy and eat 

tweet-speak  wrappers...

Like a thunder wakes up
in his bed
the quinn of Saba
with a kiss in her mouth.
She shakes her hair (dark black)
like her deep black eyes
flying to the horizont.
Lips drips of honey
tear drops in her face
told good bye to his lover
Salomon the magnificent king.
The Ethiopian Jews in her womb
a totally different nation
want to reclaim their heritage
with the Israli nation....

Words have no more Meaning
I find myself Deadlocked
In an Ethiopian Night
I Could go recklessly on 
But with what Hope?

Will I Glide on?
The Only thing I can find is woe
only woe, only me, woe is me

Voided since the start
I'm contradictory in Armenia
desert Mountains are more like rusty daggers
pierced in my stomach; what else is there but pain?
only pain, only me, pain is me

the Semienite kings erected stelae
to the kingdom of the wrestling with God;
Ethiopian hinterlands ruled with the iron fist of Judea,

Judit?battle-hungry commander of war,
panzer-woman of Scriptural Armageddon!

the queen casts her leather noose
and steers the forces of Beta Israel
into a battle of redemption and of honor
conducted in a strong and Hebraic iron tradition
not even a Holocaust could ever quell!...

  Whether secular, religious, or 'just-let-me-be'
    Sefardi, Ethiopian, or Ashkenazi

  90% of my fellow Israelis agree
    today in Israel there's 110% unity

  Behind this statistic lies an amazing fact:
  
  For 75 years now, the 'Who is a Jew' question's been asked
    yet no definitive answer, Israel's lawmakers not up to the task

  So how the devil can our sworn enemies wipe us all out
    If they don't know who 'we' are, how can they put 'us' to rout...
