Oman Poem by Jesus Diaz Llorico

'I am now in Oman
a place I never dreamed to be
when my life's travel began
as a filipino working overseas

I'm in a town called Al Buraimi
near the border of U.A.E.
where life blends with old and new
and traditions are met
with a modern view
and with few vehicles I've seen
life seems to go so slow
just like a hundred years ago
that as I walked outside
the plaza square
the only things to see
are old dwellings build in pairs
few birds in the air
and desert everywhere.'
