Gifts
A small Arab boy,
A young shepherd
Exploring,
Discovered
the Dead Sea Scrolls.
And deep in the stark desert
The barren windswept rock
The shifting sands
With scorpions and storms
And thirst that blisters your lips
As the desert itself rises
Up into the air rushing pelting
Tattering
All to threads…
In the bleak and barren desert
Deep with in it's fortress
Of formidable journey
A cache of precious oil thrives.
2001 Struggle
