POEM: Silver Lining

For so long I thirsted

The beast of the desert hunted

I was their prey too many times

I sought for the wet land

And sought for the fat meat

When I found it,

The wet land was filled with acid

The fat meat stuffed with poison

Each time I drank,

I was destroyed inside

And each time I ate,

I was left more empty and hungered for more

Then I came across the thin goat

I stared it with gloat

And vowed never to let it down my throat

To even get close I loath

But a step of faith

Brought an end to my wait

All I ever wanted was disguised

In what I always hated

Wisdom of God brought me to it

The meat I eat

Not a single remorse

And though thin, it’s never exhausted and

In abundance.
