*=*I am jealous@_@

I am jealous - Oh yes I am



I am jealous of the black stray cat

that roams the streets of Makkah

because that is its home





I am jealous - Oh yes I am


I am jealous of the colorful pigeons

that fly about Haram all day

because that is where they live



I am jealous - Oh yes I am



I am jealous of the frail brown cat

that strolls into the Kabah

without being scared

because it is in Allah’s house



I am jealous - Oh yes I am



I am jealous of the flying ababeel

circling in and out of Haram

because they are the proud defenders of the Kabah



I am jealous - Oh yes I am



And am I not jealous

of the people of Makkah?

Oh yes I am!

I am jealous

because I want to go and live there
and I want to stay

because I long for a home there

for a life there I pray.
