I had a lengthy chat with a man called Ali who tells me he's from Sultanate of Oman but on further interrogation I realize that he hails from South Yemen. He a very polite man but I'm astonished when I see a pic of him holding a gun. He quickly interjects and says that people from Yemen are used to the culture of carrying weapons due to insecurity and guerrilla warfare going on in the country.
South Yemen is on of the hardest hit due to militants who gang up to cause mayhem.
Ali seems to be a good man who likes poetry. He's written short poem which I'll quote albeit verbatim.
والبوارق كنها رشخت عروقي..
والسيول الجاريه دم الوريد
لا لمحت البرق يمه زاد شوقي
وانحسر والفقد للغالي يزيد
I don't read Arabic but I was able to pick up the idea of what he'd written. And there you have it. Ali in a nutshell. And as the saying goes, “Anything that can be put into a nutshell probably belongs there." Yep, He's a nut!!😂
