Mohammed Abu-Talib

Pick Your Dilly

Piccadilly Circus
Europe’s sons and daughters
Happily assembles
Far from homes and troubles.


Knapsacks, beards and long hair;
Partners often by pair;
Clothes outdressing gypsies;
Thoughts outdreaming fancies.


Mystic breaths entirely
Fill both square and rally:
Troubadourish  music,
Instruments _ exotic.


Herbs and scents’ best:
East replaces West…
Stimulations …
Meditations …


Angry sons and daughters
Blaming sinful fathers:
Slave-conquering warriors!
Unwanted big powers!
Mohammed  Abu-Talib
