AFrica’s enormous desert
The saharan scene
THe ubari sand sea Pyramids
Vast sand dunes have always been
Rising upwards artistically
Casting their shadows wide
Tempting the Swallows from nigeria
Really to come in side
1200 miles of flapping widely
Brought them to this high
To the great Um el Mar salt lake
Tnat smiles up at the sky
Concentrated sodium
as toxic as can be
Unable to sustain the swallows
With consistency
Was knowledge of the situation
All around this pool
Vast expanses of rotten flies
Whi answered the call
Poisoned by the saltiness
But given to the way
Of a miracle of nutrition
The freshness so they say
Eating up the dying flies
sbare tbe waters do
The swallows get the water
Knowing it is true
EAch fly a gulp of freshness
A cooling symphony
A massive writhing cover
Extracted accordingly
Empowering all those thirsty souls
With extra fuel for flight
To take them out of Africa
Fulfilled with extra light
