Many so were cramped
into so small a tent
that mattresses overlap one another
and one had to sleep slanted
as if it is in the Lahat of the grave
A reminder on of how small we are
how insignificant we could be.
From the Highest General
to the chief judge
to a retired teacher
or a businessman
you get what is written to be yours
It is air conditioned though,
and be early if you want to use the toilet.

Boy, did u get that right. Stripped down to nothing, we are but a man. What are titles but ego that we heap upon ourselves. We enter this world naked. We will leave the same way.
Haj is an exercise to praticalise all those.
One by one, the layers of the onion skin is peeled, but not all are aware of it.
I can't even imagine the smell in that place! YUCK!
