I am in the middle of Namib Desert, <br />And I'm thirsty, <br />Besides a walk to a far distance, <br />I won't survive, <br /> <br />I've been ignorant to walk into this hellhole, <br />External delivery seems remote, <br />Except through my own effort, <br /> <br />I still have some stamina, <br />God be with me I shall survive, <br />Let me try to come out now, for <br />Further procrastination spells disaster, <br />Alas! A donkey came passed by, <br />I ignored it, <br />A mule, <br />I knew it won't bother, for <br />It is the master of the desert, <br />A horse came, <br />I welcomed its generosity, <br /> <br /> Alas! I reached the oasis on horseback, <br />I shared the sweet, cool water, with my saviour, <br />Namib Desert, I detest you!<br /><br />Niki Nicholas Nkuna<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/namib-desert/
