WINDS FROM the SAHARA
WINDS FROM the SAHARA
Hear the
Aeolian plains speak;
Among the
grains of sand,
Lies within,
the bodies of the weak
Leaving their
dear homelands,
In search of
greener pastures
Their bodies
scavenged by the vultures
What couldn’t
they find in their abodes?
Is it peace,
love or wealth?
The scorching
sun deteriorating their health
We are now
left with such load
Burying their
bodies beneath,
Nothing but
our prayers, a wreath
Their
destination they couldn’t reach,
Their
families they couldn’t see
What we have
left is to teach,
Not to travel
illegally, by land or sea
The normal routine
they must follow
For that they
shall be able to go.
