There were
Shisha Users and
White land cruisers
And Bright blue seas
Camel hair and
Call to Prayer
In the great brown desert where the road construction never ends
There were mosques and thobes and
Pakistani robes
Shoes at the door and marble on the floor
The early morning sun and Kareem Ramadan
Sand dune hills and dune bashing spills
Huge yellow bear,
Raging sandstorm air
Malls everywhere
Goodbye land cruisers
Goodbye swaying palm trees and bright blue seas
Goodbye camel hair
Good bye call to prayer
Goodbye mosques, and thobes,
And Pakistani robes
Goodbye shoes on marble floors and
Early Ramadan sun
Goodbye dune hills and dune bashing spills
Yellow bear
And sandy air
Goodbye malls everywhere
Goodbye road construction that never ends
And good bye to precious, amazing friends...until we meet again.
