Dubai, the shiny city among dunes built by
migrant workers and their blood. Yes, this unparalleled luxury,
hotel staff smile like bright buttons, or else. Your discontent may cost them their job, suicide among migrant workers go unreported; so guests can sleep easily in gilded beds.
Dubai will sink in the sand when economic forces move elsewhere
and this hubris on the parched soil will be a historical interlude.
The wind in the night will murmur of untold suffering and
the soul of the dispossessed shall whisper words for no one’s ears
and shall be goats bleat before sacrificed on the altar of time
without end; for this is the universal law, those you enslaved will
arise and possess you.
