An English Man of Arabia
An English man proved salvation's worth,
even in desert's unforgiving scald.
In life 'nothing is written' in the Earth,
Lawrence of Arabia he was called.
He rode alone to rescue a stranger,
from scorching devil's anvil sun-scoured sand.
Judged and shot the same man plucked from danger,
now killed to stave off tribal blood feud band.
Do not wish to walk in another's shoes,
for you never know just where they have been.
Content with what you have, yet still could lose,
and glad unwanted fates remain unseen.
An English man proved salvation's worth,
even in desert's unforgiving scald.
