- Zero Or Prologue -
The following is not a poem or a play, it’s not a song or a prayer. It is my thoughts organized in short lines atop of each other, and grouped in knots of four.
- I -
Take off the judge robes, or keep them on
I am not excited that I’m going home
Perhaps it’s work, or school, maybe
Or a society that keeps a close eye on me
- III -
I am a traitor
Or too cocky and crooked
For not missing a place
And finding comfort elsewhere
- III -
Luckily, I don’t see things that way
Where I lay my head is home
What is left of Jordan,
Anyway?
<p>I</p>
<p>You are just still high on NY with your exploratory needs not satisifed</p>
<p>II</p>
<p>Luckily you don’t feel this way, and why would anyone?</p>
<p>III</p>
<p>Now that there is no shawerma, I don’t know :P</p>
<p>Other than famliy, friends and good times, you still have Karak :)</p>
Were you in the Egypt August 15th?
Very nice parody, sk8erboi. Quite smooth!<br /><br />Hi Peanuts, nope I wasn’t in Egypt on August 15th. I’ve never been to Egypt actually :)<br />
Well, if you had been, I would’ve said that I think I saw you in the airport August 15th. But since you weren’t…<br /><br />I hope you do make it there someday — judging by your posts, I get the feeling you’d enjoy a visit there!<br />
You know Peanuts, I would absolutely love to visit Egypt in the near future. I’ve been wanting to for such a long time and it is my loss that I haven’t taken practical steps towards making the plan come true. One day, soon.

<p><strong>Within the ancient walls, a thousand secrets hide, among them my own</strong></p>
<p><strong>I fought to leave, blaming my troubled youth on thee, if only I had known</strong></p>
<p><strong>Amman, I’ve gone, I ran away with glee, </strong><strong>days apon days, but you never left me</strong></p>
<p><strong>My Circassian maiden, my sister in the cause, you won’t know what Jordan means until you’ve tasted the loss..</strong></p>
<p>What Xena have said represents a very popular belief amongst the Jordanian expats, at least from what I’ve seen</p>
