Get along, little doggy- 
To that great big bye-and-bye, 
Herdin’ Cattle ‘cross them clouds- 
On that ranch up in the sky, 
Where every day is bright and clear- 
And the grass is tall and green, 
Where the food bowls always full- 
and the puppy-chow is keen. 

It’s a place that every cow-pokes hound- 
Will find themselves one day, 
Pickin’ fights with armadillos, 
And sleeping in the hay.

I have known evil, 

Ancient, musty evil long hallowed and exalted, 
When towering flames it more deserved. 
My soul has grown deep of this evil. 
When The Negroe* looked upon the Nile, 
and raised the pyramids above it, did he see? 
For such a man, oppressed, should heed it clearly. 
It’s glory is of old, 
Polluted and defiled with waste unseemly her cry I hear, 
As she did mine that night the evil had a name, a face, 
A phallus, so shaped and brutal like the planes that raped my country, 
that the irony, perhaps, drug forth a laughing sob, 
Into the stagnant night to join the thousand others Allah has ignored. 
For veiled or not you ARE a whore. 

And so I say you are not welcome in my home. 
For I, a guest in yours defiled, was held to blame. 
‘brought it upon herself’ you whispered low that I could hear, 
Your hissing breath as from a snake did stoke the embers in my womb. 
The seed he left, not life, 
But righteous anger at his happy countenance when he had done with me. 
A growing thing he did impart within me, like to some ravaging disease as cancer, 
Ever-morphing, ‘till I feared it would consume me. 
So ‘win’ he does again, and all by MY allowance is he able. 
As if, by my volition, I did walk into Sahara’s blistering sun bare of all clothing, 
And stood in total stillness as her rough and unforgiving sands erode my skin, 
Slough off my breasts, 
And raze my hair that I am no longer woman. 
Transparent and defenseless; 
Without skin and barely human still I stand at Egypt’s merciless sun, 
Who warms me not but turns me all to ash.
