Abu
As an Arab guest
magnetizes all eyes,
local VIPs get RIP
status. Abu sticks
his love on Arab’s
forehead. Sweet
vibes waft up with
the spicy smell of
the feast. Abu plans
another plaza above
the dunes in Dubai. He
makes his daughter’s
wedding unique with
the imported charm.
Currency blocks his
arteries. Love doesn’t
flow. He’s gifted his
wife with a desert.
Our new generation is
enchanted by Abu’s
flames of splendor.
He creates a culture
of earning over learning.
Material spring will be
followed by an autumn .
