Grow Up?

People follow stars
Which I cannot see
They listen to voices of higher powers
Which I cannot seem to hear
They connote light and shade with good and evil
When I don’t even understand what they are talking about
They believe in meanings
Which I cannot base on truths
They offer games with rules
Which I don’t get attached with
They, they are people
I’m not proud of being different
I would like to throw the ball and have it thrown back
But how could I?
When, When I throw a ball and all I get back is a snarl and a serious face
“grow up” they say, as I look at the ball rolling on the ground away from me
I’ll try, I guess, I almost forgot

Horse Sitting on Thy Chest at Night

“Arrrrrrr”
The full moon sheds its light
Reflecting my changing shadow
I cannot fight it !!
Poisonous blood burning inside my veins !!
Creatures run from the terror they know is coming
My head - think – properly – IIII – caannn nnnot
Pains !!! Burning !!! “Arrrrrrrrrrr”
Deeeeeead - human - fight eeiit - cannnnn ot !!
“Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr”

A little kiddow shivering beneath his bed’s sheets, hiding
Shivering so hard, poor him
He hears, howls !!
He knows stories
And he hears them howls !! 

Mine Unborn Sweet Child


Oo, my unborn sweet child
Should I bring you to this harsh world of mine people?
Where you will face doubts, disillusions and corruption?
Oo, my unborn sweet child, so innocent you are
I know beauties you are missing,
but are you not part of this beauty now?
Oo, my unborn sweet child
You will face feelings, nightmares and the so called life
You shall face laws and rules, and what they call conscious
You shall be taught that there is right and wrong, that this is the truth
You shall be wrapped by your people
protected by their never ending whispers in your poor innocent head

This is my world my sweet unborn child
This is my world
Where they search for escapes, meanings and different worlds
But imagination is no more there my child, no more there
You see they say we are above nature, our equal, that’s what they do claim
Others claim of higher powers, and commandments which we should follow
And they follow rules, and tell you it is this way, and only this
And you have to believe it, if you don't want to be crushed by the herd
Materials, my child, is all they care about, outfits and outer beauty
And they forgot of the inside and the beauty within

Sweet child of mine, don’t worry though
You shall be born within a lullaby which I will sing you
You shall smell the grass, climb the tree and sail the sea
You shall bathe in the sun and run, wild and free
And I will not shout at you to come back to me, and obey my laws
Oh, no, I shall tell you, run boy, run free
And you shall see mine beautiful world and build yours
You shall feel the change,
and smell the scents carried with the winds from far lands
We shall play, and roll, laugh, and invent, learn, and adventure
And a kiss on the forehead I shall give you
before you sleep after the story ends

Mine sweet unborn child
I see the beauty in your eyes
I see the truth of it all
I see a world with no lies

And a lullaby I shall sing
Which I wrote specially for you
You are mine sweet innocent child
This world I’ll prepare for you

سليم يا سليم



سليم, جيب المنشارة والخشب, بدنا نبني سفيني
سليم, جيب المنشارة والخشب, بدنا نبني بيت عالشجرة
سليم, جيب العود والكاس, بدنا نبني غنّاي
سليم, جيب أفكارك وإبداعك, بدنا نبني قصّة
سليم, جيب الريش والدبق, بدنا نبني جنحات
سليم, جيب الدخّان والكحول, بدنا نبني ممنوعات
سليم يا سليم, إنّك مش موجود وبحكي معك
هل بؤول إنّي مجنون ولا سليم؟
يا سليم, بطّلت أفرّق بين التنين, يا سليم

Chains of Slavery

Disgust and anger…
Her corruption brought my fall
Her poison, setting my desires on flames
Words turn to glue in my mouth
When trying to focus, drums beat
Her beauty is deadly, sharper than knives
Her lines are rocks tied to my legs in this deep dark ocean
Meanings fade in her ideal image and illusion 
I build this fantasy, an unreal idea of her
And aware of it I am, but helpless, I cannot stop its flow

I want to shout, I want to run faster than her shadow
I want to return to nature and sanity
To free my mind from human’s grasp
Just return to the sea, forests and foolishness
To my books, writings and peaceful thoughts

But weather is wild
Disappointed from a perfect dream
I try to run from her shadow
Yet how could I? When it has become my own
