Arabian Onegin Sonnet
Never imagined ‘happiness short-lived’
It’s very true; really I'm surprised
Once around the coast so many plants lived
creatures inhibited, but why I'm despised?
Beautiful nature surrounded, 'twas so
pleasant; loved, admired by all so much so
termed as 'beautiful river'; steady flow,
cold and safe to drink a few years ago.
Alas! my good time ended; they just sold
me, now property of investors; bold
steps taken, development rights they sold.
I don't mean anything to them, they know
how to make business profit; they don't know
me, that 'beautiful river'; tired with woe.
