I Wander the Desert Alone
In search for riches, in search for fame,
In search for glory, to wipe out my shame,
In search for a sit in the hall of fame,
To eliminate the suffering standing on my name.
In search for silver, in search for gold,
In search for diamond that makes a man bold,
In search for wisdom and truth untold,
To conquer the lies and stories of old.
I walked the desert not leaving behind an ink,
And in the oasis, grasses begged for a drink,
The face of the sun frowned at the sands,
Bruising my flesh, burning my hands.
I took my courage and left my phone,
I thirst for adventure and left my zone,
Barren to patience, pregnant for lust,
I wander the desert alone not minding the cost.
