The sun rises over this no mans land This desert is still so unforgiving There's a blister on the back of my hand, This desert, remains so unforgiving There's no water to be discovered here Only parched throats and shattered whiskey flasks Cowboys so yearning for an ice cold beer, None to be found so I don't even ask There's a saloon on the red horizon, Where you take your boots off and drain the sand This place so dry not even Poseidon, Could bring some wetness to this horrid land I am so hungry, but I still get by, But for now I'll rest these, my tired eyes

Sonnet of the Desert
The sun rises over this no mans land This desert is still so unforgiving There's a blister on the back of my hand, This desert, remains so unforgiving There's no water to be discovered here Only parched throats and shattered whiskey flasks Cowboys so yearning for an ice cold beer, None to be found so I don't even ask There's a saloon on the red horizon, Where you take your boots off and drain the sand This place so dry not even Poseidon, Could bring some wetness to this horrid land I am so hungry, but I still get by, But for now I'll rest these, my tired eyes
