Where I'm From
by Yahia Rahmouni
Where I'm from I see big malls standing above me like gods
I see cars speeding across the street like a grand prix competition
People walking to their jobs - back and forth - like a pounding heart
I see the sun above me standing tall like a soldier
Where I am from I hear busy people steps
Cars engines roaring like lions
My family and friends singing happy birthday to me
Where I am from I taste the sweet chocolate cake
My nanny made for me on my tenth birthday
I feel the soft pillows of my bed when I lay on it
After a long day at school
