Everyone wants a piece of land,
To live, flourish and to call their own,
To own it they will even kill someone,
Those who have, they create borders,
Those who don't, they steel the land,
This floating tree of orange in Jaffa,
Shows you don't need a land to own,
When the world is a big one land,
You carry your roots wherever you go,
To live and grow all you need is a pot,
The symbol of self-reliance, city of Jaffa!

It's the saying as you sow,
So will you reap, not always,
But some lucky would get to eat!!
At Leket, it was kohlrabi crop this year,
Looking like a turnip it was ready to harvest,
Uprooting it and distancing with the soil,
We harvested 440 kilos of kohlrabi !!
The happiness of hard-work in harvesting,
And knowing hungry needy will be fed,
150 families would not be hungry this day,
It's an immense satisfaction I feel when I think!!
Imagine the grain and vegetables we get,
So many hands must be touching them,
Giving their love and wishes to all,
And landing on our plate!!
A story of kohlrabi that I harvested!!!

Noticed some arts and crafts exhibition,
The street was dazzling with creativity,
And I saw this bench with full of hearts,
Someone said, there's a man who connects the hearts,
Who would follow that?, when there is tinder and dating sites?
Well, in Tel Aviv there is a man who connects
people's heart and there are enough hearts to connect too!
Spreading love in the middle of all the chaos,
is what life is about - Love!!

I came to Tel Aviv as a volunteer,
With thirteen of us from different countries,
Looking at this metro city booming with tech industries,
We arrived at the Tel Aviv beach for cleaning,
There were lot of plastic on the beach,
We were told it is harmful for the environment,
The plastic disintegrates in the sand which goes into fish,
When we eat the fish the plastic gets into us,
Proving the saying - what goes around comes around!
A small deed for the sake of environment brought happiness to me!
