a praying mantis
on knees busy revering
me so bewildered
if this small mortal complies
why humans are ungracious

Abdelwaheb Dhaou Poem
I accuse
Bankers who compulsively their creditors lure
Bid them colossal loans and obscure
To erect fantasies and a castle in Spain forge
Later arise manacled with a dolor mortgage
Employees who secretly squeeze through
Evacuate their jobs unattended and eschew
Occupy hours galore in cafés gossiping
With prolonged queues jilted lingering
Doctors who diagnose organic diseases
Shirk fragile,grief-stricken souls
Administer drugs to accrue vulnerability
Burden their expenses and nurture insanity
Entrepreneurs who hatch gigantic edifices
Reap colossal sums of almighty dollars
Abjure to construct a hovel for the beggary
To harbor their rat-infested despondency
Yet could medication be of any use
To what a whole epoch has abused ?
Abdelwaheb Dhaou.

Racist stickers on
Dark hours of segregation -
Horrid ignorance.

Water fulfills life
Nourishes soils,fills reservoirs -
Only abrades fences.

Birds flying away
Scarecrows on constant alert-
Predators around.

Solar eclipse next
Pregnant women stay inside -
People observe fast.

I admit I approximated akin adultery
Abusively allowing my abominable,abstinent eyes
To absorb abstract,alluring beauty around me
Gazed galvanic glances guiltily
Thus glamorized God's grave gluttony.

A radiant smirk
In the face of your fellow-
A real endowment.

Abdelwaheb Dhaou Poem
Ode to a pillow
Oh pillow ! Your dexterity astounds me
You bolster the head of the destitute and the deep-pocketed
The hangman and the internee
The blooming and the senescent
The caretaker and the tsar
The analphabetic and the scholar
Yet none could serene sleep savor
Except those with a clear conscience ardor.
Abdelwaheb Dhaou.

Dustmen bell the cat
Collect domestic refuse-
Meager salary.
