Dubai Says Hi, Please Press Like and Apply, Don't be Shy.
Another Brick in the Wall,be there and answer the Call
skyscrapers laid one on the other
so nobody can be bothered
all that steel all that glass
cant pass, all this is making a terrible fuss
Beauty is hidden in the human eye
desperately try, to reach the promised sky
the solution is just another confusion
bringing the new corporate infusion
simplification, the brick-by-brick contusion
Another coral reef is destroyed so the world can be annoyed
with great news from the distant land filled with neverending sand
a new shiny, luminous brand
another sickly infected gland
sold to the sleeping world, that must be torn
torn apart, on so many levels
distant cry a tear in the heavens
rape of nature creates another business venture
Oil make s anew turmoil, another mortal coil
for man, he says he can
he must, he trusts, he tell how nature is vast
So what is one more brick in the sea of sand
in his eyes can be banned
It is the dream city Of the Middle East
a terrible roaring hungry beast
The ruling class is hidden behind impenetrable glass
laughing at a simple downtrodden mass, a mass of people
who build those things, that terrible rings
They are just other things, not alive
Build without the heart
without the bard
build without the soul
there even the rising moon is hollow
Sand and dunes, stell and mortar together drowning in sorrow
all for a better tomorrow
The Middle East has lost his soul, just for another brick
they got incurably sick
They are lost, all there can be bought
there is no real cost, for those that prey on the weak
they don’t get sick
All Kings and Sheiks are blind
sanity cant be find
they love their people another version of modern Sheple
People there, just obeying another law
all are just another brick in the wall
nobody has believed that all this heartless stupidity will go that far
O look at another shiny gold car, its fits on the streets where
greed and insanity meet
all reeks, all is just inverted exposure, future closure
Hot, scorching Sun is looking for fun,
looking for the human brain on the run
Smiling Sun reaching for a true man in this distant sand
Can he be found?
Is he there, or real human hearts are really rare
materilism,comunism,traditionalism
a world made of ism reaching another wilful cataclysm
another schism, another contorted prism
without the light plunged into suicide
They say East has heart, look at that shiny city
we made all that very pretty
Just for you, but I can see through
You haven’t foll me, not for one second
not for nanosecond
All this fine mirage made of brick, lazy tricks
Doesn’t move my soul,doe’t feel my heart
I don’t wanna do my part
I will rather create my own art
I don’t need mortar and stell to tell you how I fell
I don’t need shiny golden cars
I don’t need you dumb wars
I don’t need your new better solution for your false evolution
I will make final conclusion
I will break this irrefutable illusion
Because people are not another brick in the wall
so you can make another ghastly hall
I hope you all will fall
from the biggest skyscrapers,
together with your building permits and papers
this is the price for the rape of the nature
this will be your next great business venture
All that money made from oil makes her boil
One day she will have enough and all your skyscrapers will cough
They will merge with the desert again,
inverted present deep in the desert for profane
mostly now insane,
all this will be done without the mighty crane
Is this the will of God?
His stamp of approval, soul removal
Is this human nature in full swing
to make another compartmentalized cemented wing
Just another empty thing that cant sing
Just so you assholes can be the new anointed Desert king
from Dubai to Bejing
they made this swing
This great present to the new emerging world
must unfold, must be sold, sometimes even in secret told
The desert storm is news of the past, deeds of old deluded cast
making way for another but a different tectonic blast
They come to the Middle East so they can feast
feast even more to reach the human unsuspecting core
Nothing is ever enough, even if people are tough
How this song ends, where are all lost, smart friends?
can they comprehend, can they defend
this cruel unlawful end
Steel is new will
cement is new carrying hand
desert bricks are new loud, annoying freaks
All world is a stage, hidden hand a devils mage
born in the golden cage, for the New Age
The Age of the Divine can come now, they say
pres begin and don’t think just play
Play the game so you can be the same
Lost in the wild desert sand, looking for a saving hand
Mirage is built under the will of the Scottish kilt
More is to come, they must show you your new home
they must sell this rumble of bricks
filled with many foolish tricks
What are bricks for if they can’t hold the door
if they can’t stand the weight of future
ungodly suture
Cant you feel this adventure, this new great opportunity
you can be part of this new brimming community
The door will be not locked, because all will be mocked
There is nothing in the desert, just this crazy present
Will you get the key…
Will you open a new white door?
will you be part of the choir?
Angels don’t cry anymore, nothing is like before
All they see is greed, blood and gore desperately looking for more
Encore!
The city,filled with strangers, one sitting on another
just a dumb and senseless cannon fodder
not loving another, not looking for each other
for your next-door brother or sister
all is a sinister game of twister
Who is the new Boss, who is a new prime minister
who allowed all this desert blunder
All this natural plunder
I wonder…
There is nothing in the desert just this adorable present
it awaits you
it hails you
it nails you, to the cross, so you can feel like a true Boss
You made it, you are here in the land of skyscrapers
in the land of devil and lie makers
Dont you wonder, how all this can be build
don’t you feel the rush and the thrill
Don’t you feel the chase
in this sacred, very dashing oaze
All is made just for you, can you see through
Don’t be just another lost, clueless fool
All this is built on blood, on oil on the world’s turmoil
On polluted soil
on broken minds, on another man behind
Those that are kind, but have no choice
they long ago lost their voice
They are prisoners, foreigners
Modern slaves, sleeping in man-made caves
They build this miraculous city and now they are stuck
and you my friend don’t give a f…
Human agony is right under your refined noses,
smell the f.. roses.
O.k I am still tired, this “masterpiece” will be done without the usual pictures, this is my inner aversion, rebellion against the soul of the modern city, any “modern” city for some reason in my YT feed was the video above…
Humans make the soul of the city, not bricks and mortar.
So if you have anyone in Dubai or you live in Dubai and have the time of your life in Dubai this is not made against you.
As a writer you hear something, you see something or some human tragedy happens right in front of your eyes, inspiration knocks on the door and you start writing….
At this moment in time, I could probably write 2o page long poem about just anything.
You know the name they gave to this heat wave, trust me you will never guess...LUCIFER....this reality is a comic strip.
The heat here during the Summer is nothing special but, yesterday at 1 a.m. it was 31 C. -87.8 °Fahrenheit...who can sleep under these conditions deserves a medal.
I use AC, I don't like it, it is not that hot, but there is no breeze, none.
Cheers guys and gals, have a wonderful day, wherever in this world you currently are.
if I just press like or don’t answer the comment that just means I am trying to catch some sleep, and yes there are a probably few typos and mistakes in this let’s say poem…..
I'm done with the soulless big cities, having spent 30 years of my life in Hamburg, Copenhagen and Los Angeles.
Perfect HP, absolutely bloody perfect!
Loving that clip, it sums up exactly how I felt returning to the city. I used to travel there a lot, from 2000 onwards every couple of years until 2014. But after returning this year the place has turned completely mad!
A bit like Neom, which I first stumbled upon in 2019 when it had just been approved to start construction. It's a horror show of a planned future, that the hive minded in the middle East will gladly flock towards...

Surprise, surprise many of the usual big players have their fingers in this lucrative pie, and are using their usual tricks of dispersing people to make way for progress.

Welcome to the new dystopia. My wife and I keep getting offers to work on the automated healthcare system there, and the money is not to be sniffed at, I could easily retire after a year...
But f... that!
The middle easterners and rich western idiots can line up and cram themselves into a futuristic nightmare if they want, but they better not think of trying to implement the same in Europe...!
