Goodbye Doha


In the great brown desert
There were
Shisha Users and
White land cruisers
Swaying palm trees 
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 shisha users 
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.
