This poem is about Saudi Arabia. It is the largest country in the middle east (line 2); world’s largest peninsula (line 3); the birth place of Islam (line 4); practices absolute monarchy (line 5); Horses spread the Islamic empire (line 7); the last nation on earth to allow women voting (line 10); largest country in the world without a river (line 11).
A region of large treasury covered by sand
most massive in the Middle Eastern geography
and a peninsula, known to be the world’s largest
is the origin to the fastest growing faith
and a home sustained by absolute monarchy
Conservative ideology, well crafted into lifestyle
diffusing such through the medium of horses,
and exoticism well symbolized by camels
with Mecca and Medina the center of its holy shrines
It may be the last follower of women political empowerment,
the world’s largest domain without flowing water,
or a fighter to alcoholism, birth control and homosexuality
but not left behind in technological adventures.
Beauty and strength, lies in this kingdom of Arabia.
