Obama and Palestine

Obama and Palestine  

Vidkun Quisling made 
Treason a name
Will president 
Hussein Barak Obama 
Go down in history 
As a coward
The man who shirked
His historic duty to
Make Palestine a free country?  
He has got it in his power
 If he stops listening to
The voices of dissent that 
Will never willingly give succor 
To the people they made homeless.


Toil

I’m shattered,I won’t lie, 
today has been long. 
I’m tired yet awake, 
can’t escape the throng. 
Day light has ventured 
and left while I worked,
The night has arrived now, 
still never I shirked. 
My eyelids are heavy, 
my limbs they are tired,
And still on I toil now, 
my time’s not yet expired. 
Grateful am I 
for the work that I do. 
But soon I’ll be bidding 
A ‘good night’ to you.

The Red Bucket

The red bucket in my bathroom 
suddenly one day broke. 
Day by day it deteriorated 
till it was revoked. 
I needed some plastic 
to melt for some work; 
the red bucket was chosen 
being already shirked. 
Little by little, in few days, 
the red bucket was cut. 
From being a proper bucket, 
it was not even its butt. 
It sits there in a corner 
waiting to die some more. 
Unwanted, rejected, 
it's not a bucket anymore.

April 29, 1988

It was a time that was really great.
It began on April the 29th of 1988.
When I saw her, she was special and unique.
The type of lady that many a man would seek.

It didn't work out even though I desperately wanted her to be mine.
That was twenty years ago but I still have fond memories of that time.
Unfortunately it was a long distance relationship and it did not succeed.
If things had worked out between us, I wouldn't have shirked her needs.
