There's a moat of sand
it's a bulwark for a prosperous kingdom
beyond the Rio Grande
treacherous trajectory
through an ocean of heat
on the way to their rectory.
There's a moat of sand
turning refuge into risk
dividing two brands
predators look to make one suffer
an ATV piranha's snack attack
tases pregnant mothers.
There's a moat of sand
on the journey from hell to heaven
where the blessed meet the ******
gnawed to the bone
by roaming coyotes
while searching for home.
There's a moat of sand
guarding providence
the bountiful land
just when you think it can't get any hotter
you see a shrine for the dead with a sign
saying they didn't bring enough water.
There's a moat of sand
that's unforgiving and cruel
so it's used by man.

There's a moat of sand

There's a moat of sand

There's a moat of sand
that's unforgiving and cruel
