Poem: Just Another Place ( Dubai Diaries — 5)
Dec 9, 2023
My last trip to Dubai resulted in a success but turned out to be a bit disappointing. The setback took a lot out of me emotionally, but this time, we are back, with a series of meetings looking for small wins.
Poem: JUST ANOTHER PLACE
This time, there is no glitz or glamor
Santa and Xmas trees are on
The serial lights blink
My mind goes back to October
The promise of a future
Lost back in my homeland
This trip, it is win by a thousand cuts
Moves like the minute hand
One second at a time
But this feels awake and real
Sleeps are dreamless
Making the minutes count
I don’t look for the stars
Marhaba city is just
Another business place.
