A Night In Tunisia

The moon is the same moon above you
Aglow with its cool evening light
But shining at night, in tunisia
Never does it shine so bright
The stars are aglow in the heavens
But only the wise understand
That shining at night in tunisia
They guide you through the desert sand
Words fail, to tell a tale
Too exotic to be told
Each nights a deeper night
In a world, ages old
The cares of the day seem to vanish
The ending of day brings release
Each wonderful night in tunisia
Where the nights are filled with peace
(bridge)
(scat)
{repeat all twice}
(scat)

La Vida Loca

'La Vida Loca'!
Visit Tunisia and save your money at 'Amen Bank';
For there you will taste the style of the African!
And the facts of your myth will touch your lover,
For we are in the presence of the modern world!

Father's Legacy...

father left a fortune
for the five of us, the mountains,
the three sisters are snobs
and a brother likes it there in
Tunisia,
i am left with skills perhaps
to convince you to stop
stealing from us.

Father is right.

Gadhafi's Coffee And British Tea!

Gadhafi's Coffee and British Tea!
And the Yasmin's Revolution from Tunisia spread over;
But in Libya, Gadhafi stood up to fight against the rebels;
Yes, the very opposition against him! !
And the Europeans backed up the rebels to outwit him,
All in the name of modern arms and the show of power!
But today, Gadhafi is no more;
Because, he is dead and gone too soon!

Egypt On The Brink Of Impact Storm

A storm has been threatening
on dark horizons for decades
suddenly after revolution in Tunisia
how swiftly has protest arisen
how swiftly swarms freedom gains.
Cry Cry Freedom Throw Off Chains.

Lightning protests scream attention
demand democracy free elections.
Mubarak civilian torture of political
criticism included savage abuses,
random arrest, extra-judicial killings.
Brutal harsh inhumane immoral insane.

RIM: The Gazing Gazelle

Remark:
A friend of mine wrote on facebook: 'Rim Rimoucha is going to treat herself tonight...having dinner with her lovely husband to celebrate their wedding anniversary '.
She inspired me the following verses:

Hover into the sky, high and high,
Over the stars, over the sun,
'T is the 30th of June,
Take your time and never run,
Celebrate your moon,
Your bliss has just begun,
Your bliss has just begun...

Two Weeks To Exile Day After Tunisia

Two weeks to exile day
after Tunisia saw its veteran
president flee into exile

Egypt capital of the Arab
world's largest country
witnessed extraordinary

scenes heroic tens of thousands
of ordinary Egyptian citizens
demonstrators braved teargas

rubber bullets
baton charges
to vent protests

their dictatorship pent up fury
at repression torture poverty
unemployment corruption dirty

Yasmin's Revolution

Yasmin's Revolutiuon,
It started in Tunisia and it spread over the Arab World!
With the chanting of the youths bringing down the Dictators;
But what i see now in Libya is like bombs falling down from heaven! !
And Gaddafi claims to win the war,
But the war songs are now destroying everything in Libya! !
My mouth will speak wisdom;
However, the meditation of my heart will bring forth understanding!
For the world gathers today against Libya,
And there is no sign for the 'African Unity' (AU) .

Why Are You Surprised?

Tunisia, Egypt, Spain, Greece and others did protest
Economic enslavement perpetrated by global banks
Bloody wars, poverty and famine moved slowly West
So why are you surprised at U.S. joining protest ranks

Transitologists

Election in Tunisia without meeting the
most important criteria for successful
government and the highest good of
the nation-state:

Educating the leaders of Africa, how to
bring about separation between church
and state, how to provide for multi-ethnic
-religious, and -cultural peoples

Moving from Western-style democracy
- which always fails in Africa - towards
Federalism – studying Transitology to
change authoritarian regimes…
