Zine Hadjira Poems

Oh, my Dear Precious mum

You are the cause of my birth
You are the core of this earth
...

Kids’ tears draw the adults’ fears
A kid’s misery appears
In the streets of Algiers
But no one hears
...

Une femme phénoménale

Les jolies femmes se demandent ou se cache mon secret.
Je ne suis pas belle ni j'ai la taille d’un top modèle
...

Reading is my past time

Time and rhyme
Sound the same
...

Life is a short journey
It may be bitter
It may be honey
Life is a short journey
...

I am an Anti War Creature
...

Give me your hand and be my friend
My heart will be our dreamland
We shall make a nice band
We shall sing on golden sand
...

I wish I were a poet to write about man and the tree
I wish all people could see
That life is beautiful and happiness is free
I wish I could make all the children of the world happy
...

How much money do you need to be happy?
Poor man
How much money should you have to be happy?
Greedy man
...

DON'T GO ON TELLING ME LIES
I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR EYES
I LOVED YOU AS A MAN
YOU LOVED ME AS A GIRL
...
