Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves
One day, while Ali Baba was working in the forest, he heard the sound of hooves and saw a cloud of dust. He quickly climbed a tree and saw forty thieves on horseback, carrying bags of treasure. They stopped in front of a large rock. The leader of the thieves stood in front of the rock and shouted:

Run and fly, sons of Zion
*Boom... Boom... Boom.. "Run and fly, sons of Zion" Leave the land, it's not yours — it's Palestinian The West protected you for years in vain Now you're drunk with power, soaked in disdain *Boom... Boom... Boom.. Hatred’s burning deep inside Since long ago, you couldn't hide Killing, bombing — for what gain? Look at Gaza, feel the pain! A game of murder you repeat You kill and strike, and never weep In Lebanon, you brought the rot In Syria too, you've stained the plot *Boom... Boom... Boom.. But now the time has come at last The warning came — you ran too fast “Iran's a threat!” you scream with fear “We'll strike them down within a year” *Boom... Boom... Boom.. No nukes, no leaders, just the lies You're the dumbest under skies Life’s a loan, and justice wins Oppressors fall — it always spins Your bombs have killed in Gaza's streets But now you taste what vengeance eats You're drinking from the same old cup The mud is thick, you're drowning up *Boom... Boom... Boom.. Iran’s fire both night and day Missiles of thunder find their way Some of you now flee the fight Saying: “We have no claim, no right” But Iran’s voice is loud and clear Boom boom — it strikes the ear It’s judgment time, the end is near *Boom... Boom... Boom..

Birdbath in the Garden
There is a joy in serving, the little creatures, for we are harming them, by our reckless actions. My backyard garden is organic,

Tremolo Effect
Gasps between smiles, Phony denials, Exhume docile ails A trained pattern in Trepidation I Stumble across you A soft memory

Aurora. Top Story - June 2025.
On a lonely highway In the dark of the small hours of morning, Wearily, we pushed on. * We had overstayed. The shortcut had been riddled with detours.

One With The Light
I watched the stars fall from heaven, to dance upon the waves A million shimmering ripples gathering them all into one place
