Muslim Poem

A lonely Salesman

As I walk across the Desert land,

My goods all in my caravan,

All I can see is orange sand,

I’m just a lonely salesman.

As I walk across the desert plain,

I call upon Allah and say,

“Oh dear Allah, please make it rain!”

This I repeat every waking day.

I hope to find an Oasis soon,

A place to pause, to take a break,

In this burning month of June,

I found it at last complete with its own miniature lake.

I home at last,

I cannot relax,

Tough moths have past,

For I must cross the Desert, in a flash!
