“The UAE Sonnet
I'm asked to compare USA with UAE,
So here it is, in my free form sonnetary.
For starters, there is no comparison -
UAE is a civilized country, USA is not.
Sure UAE has its share of violations,
like every living country in the world,
but unlike USA, the incredible growth
and the very birth of UAE is not founded
on the worst kind of atrocities in history.
In fact, forget the rich, safe and
prosperous UAE - on the civilization scale
USA is the bottom scraper of history.”
