Silence!!!!!!

Shsh shsh shsh my father’s shout, another faint shsh will always follow. Trrrnn Trrrnn and my name is called to pick the phone. Ding Ding Ding and I’m asked to open the door. Gggesh Gggesh and I wake up suddenly to shut the TV. The Eisha Adhan, Ooops I forgot to pray Maghreb again. Beep Beep Beep, Vooo, Vooo, the crazy streets of Cairo _______________________ The scary silence of Arizona, no shouting, no laughing, no Beep Beep and of course no Adhan. Beep Beep Beep, Shamefully back to Cairo after only five weeks. Bla Bla Bla the endless questions of nosey people and fake friends. Beep Beep Beep, the crazy streets of Cairo________________________ The threatening silence in a living room. Tuck Tuck Truckk familiar sounds coming from the kitchen. The endless crying of babies. A quick loud fight every now and then. Beep Beep Beep, the crazy streets of Cairo, the Adhan again and again. Bla Bla Bla the lies and boring gossips of colleagues at work.___________________________ The expected silence of death.
