Who am I?
To the Ethiopians, I am Faranji,
To the Sephardi – Ashkenazi,
To the Japanese, – Geijin,
To the Mexicans – Gringa.
To the Palestinians – an invader…
A poetic search for a positive identity among multiple social negative ones.
The Tamed Shrew
The Tamed Shrew
What a waste…
The tamed shrew –
She could have won an Olympic gold,
She could have been a magnificent mime,
She could have written plays better than Shakespeare,
(excuse the sacrilege…)
She could have been…
… a composer,
a master engineer,
a president!
What a waste –
The untamed males –
Filling up prisons,
Defiling their positions as
Priests,
Comics,
Doctors,
Teachers,
Politicians.
Terrorizing the world with their
Wars
Kidnappings,
Mass shootings
Untamed urges…
Such a waste…
Such a waste…
