When I see the world around me It sometimes brings me down Wars and devastation Green that’s turned to brown I try to right some wrongs Effect the change I can We all need to do our bit to save the world from man Some people say that I’m naïve That I can’t go changing minds But if we do what we always do No changes will we find So think about this world we...
She stops and she sighs And she thinks of his eyes As she speculates on all that lies behind The penetrating gaze That’s been haunting her days And tickling the corners of her mind She imagines his touch Loves his fingers so much As they draw lazy circles on her skin Slowly here, gently there Getting tangled in her hair Aiding and abetting every sin She’s falling...
Bleary-eyed and body weak The lack of sleep begins to wreak Havoc on my tired soul Exhaustion starts to take its toll I try to rid my mind of thought But sadly it is all for naught For slumber doesn’t want to come Despite the brain and body numb So I sit and try to write Listening to sounds of night Feeling just a little punchy Damn it! Now I’ve got the...
Against a backdrop of terror attacks being perpetrated by Hamas, Israeli and Palestinian leaders are currently meeting in Washington DC for the first direct talks in almost two years. Yesterday, I was asked by a producer at the BBC World Service radio show “The World Today” to address Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu...
I send you off to school today, my precious little boy Hand-in-hand we reach the gate – trepidation mixed with joy I hold you close and kiss your hair before I say goodbye And hope that you won’t see the tears that slowly fill my eyes I wish you well in school today, my precious little boy An adventure to embark upon; a journey to enjoy I know it may be tough at times; I...

It’s not about the way you look Or about the clothes you wear It’s not about the folks you know ’cause I also know my share I don’t care who knows your name Or who calls you a friend It’s not about your status ’cause I don’t go chasing trends It’s not about the car you drive ’cause I prefer to walk It’s not about your...
Welcome to the new blog! After five years of moving around, I decided it was time to create a permanent new home with a sleek, sophisticated, sexy new look. Oddly enough, I’m not any of those things, but I digress… My standards weren’t terribly high. All I was hoping to create was a site that reflected my personality, a site that looked creative, professional and impressive...
Earlier today, I spent some time reorganizing my bookshelves which, on the face of it, probably doesn’t sound terribly significant. Shifting books to and fro is hardly cause for excitement, nor is putting books away in a closet in order to make room for other books.
