Camel Ride

Wading backwards and forwards
The ride begins across the green pastures
On a mighty, tall, strong, calm creature
Someone's burden, few rejoice
Suppression to the dumb, meek without a voice
Small appear the men, tress, flowers
Feel as if a monarch, a ruler
Euphoric, on top of the world
Firm, fixed and bold
Commonplace, the ship of the desert,
Elsewhere aeroplane
Gala, gaiety, cheer fills heavy gain
Somewhere meant for communication,
Somewhere for entertainment
Man leaves no avenues untainted,
Sometimes on rent, sometimes lent.
