Like The Roses Of The Desert Poem by Sucrose White

Destiny forced us to respect the bitter fact
Of the consequences and the fate we faced
It's way beyond a tragic act
It's about a past we had chased

Our number now is that of wizards
We are few like the roses of the desert

People around me have wondered where the secret lies
How do we attract problems like a magnet?
Though our situation has moved the heart of the spies
The same ones that once caught us with a net

It's not about cakes and desserts
It's about those who are few like the roses of the desert

people used to prey on our very flesh
have now left our aquarium with no fish
they were right about us being selfish
for a couple of dimes, we served our children's meat as a dish

Yet, it's not for fishes or lizards
It's for those who are few like the roses of the desert

Again I hear some hopeless cries
Shouted out by those who survived
A nuclear strike devastates but undo your very ties
Being an Arab alone will have your foes pulverized

Nevertheless, they are little and scattered
They are few like the roses of the desert
