Written in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 2005 implying the good, bad and ugly that the world family brings to the peoples of the earth
for sowing the seed that germinates life
within this beautiful world.
Bless you Mama,
for nurturing life and bringing it forth
with a miraculous birth.
Bless you Brother,
for reaping the fruits that ripen with time
amidst laughter and love.
Bless you Sister,
for supporting the family in good times and bad
with a love that's so tender.
Shame you Papa,
for running it all and seeing it decay
with fire and turmoil.
Shame you Mama,
for wasting each day and letting it all
turn into strife and sorrow.
Shame you Brother,
for sitting in silence and serving us all
with a bitter tomorrow.
Shame you Sister,
for the insecure life that has failed us wthin
and sees no good future.
