Nomads

Nomads have no care for the place
They stay in as they’re on the move.
We are nomads, shifting places
For jobs, with no care for fellow beings.

Sandstorm

Caught in a sandstorm we strive onwards,
The sand is awesome, the sand is massive;
We throw our weapons down swiftly to seal
Our pact with the desert people, the nomads.
They catch us because we are living forever,
Inside us is a soul to matter, more than grains of sand.
The whole storm shall make us proficient in acts
Of innocence, the nomads know us;
We are able to unite and be nomadic
Without the weapons of our choice.

Nomadic Tribes

The nomads of the east are upon us,
Life here is bleak, since armed combat is certainness.
The nomads of the east prefer clothing of beauty,
Happiest beauty prevails with battle, for it is duty.

The warriors of the west are us,
Working with brilliance and briskness.
Life shall remain like a powerful hair,
This hair hangs like an age to compare.

Entire bodies, robes of desire are contemplating
Why we are here, why are we here in conflict?
Too many wars are too many lives decapitating,
In fury, in debilitating state, always to object.

It is virtually impossible to control Northern Kenya, which is populated chiefly by migrant nomads.

Until we perceive the meaning of our past, we remain the mere carriers of ideas, like the Nomads.

Nomads in making

Peers are cousins and
Neighbours are relatives
In the modern world
Where people are nomads

Edith

Of your earnings moulded into an idol of worship,
Like the roads and the roots of the nomads;
I came to love you but you turned me down!
So i took away my love from you.
Edith, you are like El Berith;
So i have ceased main my sweet oil of love for you.

Moving

There’s confusion to find things,
to prepare the kitchen, the rooms
when the hallway and lounge,
the garage is standing full of boxes

and we are like nomads,
as if every thing is ready
for the next removal

while we find small treasures,
precisely plan how to arrange our house,
our new life.

Science would be ruined if (like sports) it were to put competition above everything else, and if it were to clarify the rules of competition by withdrawing entirely into narrowly defined specialties. The rare scholars who are nomads-by-choice are essential to the intellectual welfare of the settled disciplines.

The Last Stage

a crooked line straightens itself
finally with a beeping sound, not once,
penetrating, traveling to an insistence,
it is turned off. A sob from a little girl
beside the bed. A punch on the wall
of a man's fist. A white blanket covering
a pair of eyes. Blankness.

a caravan of nomads, a camel a desert
a dark night, full moon, a distant call and then
sleep and silence.
