Tell me Baba
Tell me about the Nakba
I see the Women Wailing and in Angst
Bitterness and Sorrow Unending
Tell me about the Nakba

Who did What and Why
Tell me about the Nakba
The ground remains thirsty
Thirsty for blood of our youth
How much more do we have to endure
Tell me about the Nakba

I see Keys, everyone is holding a Key
Tell me about Nakba
Baba, where are all the doors, the homes
Show me Deir Yassin, Show me my Village
Why is everyone quiet , say something
Tell me about the Nakba

Henry gazed deep into Lizzie's eyes
As he held her hands
She waited expectedly
"You're my forever girl"
"You promise?" She asked sincerely
"Please don't make me lie twice" he quietly whispered in his heart

"Of course" he replied in a reassuring tone.

The little girl looked at her mom
She wrapped her little arms around her
She seemed unwell constantly
Always going to hospital
Her mom tried to stay calm but tears rolled freely

The little girl's dad was in a foreign country
He's been gone for many a year now
He always rang and checked on them
But the girl's mom was her world
Now she was stricken

Her Dad was in a dilemma
Whether to come back and look after his family
Or stay and make money they desperately needed
Money they needed for his wife's treatment

The little girl always said a sincere prayer
A simple request to God
That her mom be well again
Her parents joined her quietly
With solemn hearts
They also hoped for a miracle
Just for little girl's sake
May she enjoy her mom's company a little longer
May be a lot longer
Because at moment, it felt like the walls are closing in

Am far too gone
Irretrievably gone
I know it's been a week
Since you asked to leave
Now, you want to come back
That's lot of water under the bridge now

You ask
"Am I that easy to forget"
I wish I could say that
Moving on quickly was my only option
My sanity you see
I needed to clear my head quick
Else I will lose me

Anyways .... how're you
It's been a week 😪

The year is 1993

Wigs
I hate them,
Oh boy! I loathe 'em

Don't start me on lifts
What lie
A cheap lie

You see, she got herself brand new twins
The ol' ones had deflated
These ones are real *******
What an illusion

Forget the hardware
I care about the software
Who you are on the  inside
That's who I wanna see

🐈 Cats
Oh boy you got love 'em
Them majestic beasts
They don't have owners
They have servants

Loyalty, that's dog's ****
It's over rated
Them cats know better
They're their own masters

They scratch you 'til you love 'em
How can you not love the purring
Rub them right you might see tail wiggle
But don't get too excite  
Breaking hearts is what they do
