Surprisingly the dusted air does not bring a gritty mouth? It seeps sandy, into the recesses of skyscrapers, gives bright blue pools a poxy composure. Its probably why the buildings aren't white but not why my teeth aren't It's accompanied by muted roars, a cacophony of humanity in the near and far. Indians eating Ethiopian, Pakistanis driving Chinese cars, Arabs shopping at Bloomingdales, Filipinos Filipinoing. A city that embodies the glittering gold of empty flats and abandoned offices, the cushion covered loungers and the overwhelming urge to jump from the 26th floor balcony. A squinted eye admires the Burjes. A shielded glance is spared for the Mosques. Their brilliance is solar, my sunglasses game is weak and my neck is starting to get sore.

The dusted Air
Your vision was the blend of cultures, welcoming them onto the progressing lands as if it was there own. Your passion of justice extinguished every fire and your endless kindness diminished hunger of the starving and quenched those thirsty. Your heart was vast and character so true and principled that hoped to strengthen and empower the youth to achieve its best so your essence carries on for you have risen to great heights and news of you have spread.

Year of Zayed
Higit isang taon na rin ang nakalipas Nang lisanin ang bansang Pilipinas Upang subukan ang buhay Sa lugar na kung tawagin ay Dubai Naalala ang galak ng pagpunta dito   Nang sa kalaunay puro na reklamo Paano naman kasi ang mga Arabo Minsan lang maligo sa isang linggo Dagdag pa ng klima na sobrang init Pawis mo'y abot hanggang singit   At kung taglamig naman ay pumasok Gusto mo na lng mamaluktot sa isang sulok   Pagkain na amoy pa lang aayaw ka na   Kahit gutom mawawalan ka rin ng gana Babae nila'y nakasuot ng itim na bestida Pati lalake rin ay nagsusuot ng palda   Pero kahit ganun ang katulad nila Gusto ko ang kanilang pananampalataya Sa diyos na tinatawag nilang Allah May oras talaga pag nagdarasal sila   Akala ng marami buhay dito ay maganda Di lng nila alam kami'y nangungulila Sa pagmamahal na ipinabaon   Ng mahal na makikita lng pagkatapos ng ilang taon Tila ang bilis ng mga pangyayari May mabuting resulta kaya sa bandang huli Lahat ng sakit, pagod at pighati   Mapagsilbihan lang ang mga ibang lahi Kung lahat ng ito'y isang panaginip Ayoko na talagang maidlip Hay... buhay Dubai nga naman Sana nga may patutunguhan...
