Short Tunisia Poems

The silver sky 
Released the 
Tarnished sun, 
At dusk,
For me
To wane 
Into that 
Dark  eternal
night in the
Land of Tunisia...

Never will the soul kneel to despair
Because ease by God's will is coming
And with it joy and laughter.

What ivory smiles
Playing her piano
In the dark, but
Where does night
Rest her eyes,
In this land of Tunisia
Bringing stars
Through the
Will of God...

President Beji Caid Essebsi
The octogenarian who by a miraculous gamble in policy
Fancied he restored enduring stamina
Escalated power to preside over poor Tunisia....

crazy moon
wearing your
favorite
black 
evening gown
flashing your
white neon 
smile for
a thousand
miles
rocketing
across
the wild wind
of that 
black velvet
night
in Tunisia...

Time Trump Was In Tunisia

We remember when Trump was in Tunisia,
And he had suffered from case of amnesia,
Idiot outright,
To his delight,
So would start giving him more anesthesia.

It is time now to remember 
How time would nearly render
Everyone to see his/her own way
But I hope those ways will cross 
Soon beyond earthly gain and loss.

I have made my mind,...I have made my decision.
I will going to find,...My old dear vision.
I have been so blind,...Until I watched the television.
To see Tunisia becoming,...A free pigeon.
Egypt too,...And now Libya is the legend....

Advice

There is no need to play the victim
And go about life as a stubborn mule
Whisper to your poor pained heart 
That its dream will pick a good shall 
Despite those who said it was 
Trust Him, He is most capable 
Who gave you life, not they, idiot heart! 
Their deceptions and injuries are not a joke
Love yourself and look back time and again 
At the many valleys you have crossed.

Tunisia does not need
what is being done to it. 
Oh people, isn't it high time 
to stop this and wake up? 
See then, why sit and talk 
when we should work and walk?

Martyrs did not want 
to die and part for nothing.
They did not come to life 
and go without blessing.
Why, then, are those 
who killed them still walking?

Till when, Oh God, 
they will live and keep hiding?
Do they live to make others die? 
Are they humans?

Money slips through your fingers
Depression sets in and lingers
No gifts to buy
Why, oh why?

Can't go shopping, don't have enough
Do I really need it, it's just stuff
Can't buy pizza
If I had money maybe I would go to Tunisia

Oh, the lack
Everything so black
Wanting to get
When increase doesn't come, I get upset

Maybe, I'm sinning
Don't seem to be winning
Nothing is funny
Wish it were sunny

Increase I'll get
Won't be upset...

Keturah;
Green eyes like the pastel leaves of spring
Jett black hair like that night in Tunisia

Keturah;
Brown cinnamon skin leaves a sweet taste in your mouth
Smooth African face, as round as the blue moon

Keturah;
A smile that descends from the heaven within
Your beauty is the light from the stars, at night

Keturah;
We fly across the moon
Walk beyond the star
Enjoy this afternoon

Keturah;
What do we have 
What do we know

This all begins right
Here for you, keturah...
