Truth and Justice
The truth you ask, and justice?
They are a day's camel ride away.
Cinch your burnoose about you.
The wind will whip the sand.
The dunes will bleed in falls.
The way isn't clear, but
My camel knows the way.
There is an oasis a day's
Ride from here. You'll see
The shimmer and the palms
Bouncing in and out,
Even issuing from the desert
Edicts from all that
Eden portended.
And beyond that a castle,
Ruined by countless wars,
Stones from nowhere near
Anywhere we've been
Were used. It is a day's
Ride my camel knows.
Does yours?
