Next door lives a dragon
Next door lives the batman
Next door lives the police
Next door, Next door, Next door
Next door lives a teacher, preparing for his lecture
leaving 7am in the morning
returning late, stressed and underpaid
Next door lives a 5-headed family
with a sick father, a working mother and 3 little children
living on the brink
Next door lives my best friend
known him for ages, through thick and thin
I treasure him.
Next door, Next door, Next door
Next door is a world away
Next door is another reality
Next door is a life lived
Next door, Next door, Next door
A man is not a believer
who fills his stomach while his neighbour
is hungry.
On the Contrary let him who believes in Allah and the last Day
be generous, be kind to his neighbour, who lays
forty houses in front of him, forty houses behind him
forty houses on the right and forty houses on the left.
Next Door.

A breath of mind
