eid now makes alert go orange
them ayrabs no longer slaughter goats
stay alert …
vigilant …not just in the air
see veiled girl cleaning snow off her shoes …
could be after your hotel
beardy over there …
could blow your building
the waitress heard them ..
it’s the season to be bombing
la la la la la la
it’s the eid of sacrifice
la la la la la la
from yellow we go orange
la la la la la la
back then we sent’em japs to Manzanar
pack them herders ship’em far
back to Manzanar
its safe in death valley
should they pack
thinking about it
writing on the wall
not just mutterings
another transfer …for safety
orange ain’t red
Manzanar..will it be cold
separated…
half breeds too
it’s the season to be bombing
la la la la la la
it’s the eid of sacrifice
la la la la la la
from yellow we go orange
la la la la la la
Manzanar not too bad
California dreaming
days on end writing
essays, poems, letters
Manzanar not too bad
edamame kosher halal hummus and curry
eid moubark stamp …show unity
on sale in Manzanar
it’s the eid of sacrifice
la la la la la la
