The heavy hand of Allah,
Shifting the burning sands of the Sahara.
Where now, is the great Temple of Ishtar?
A thousand years of glory –
Shifting the burning sands of the Sahara.
Where now, is the great Temple of Ishtar?
A thousand years of glory –
Just a twinkle of the eternal stars!
Mighty forests once lush with life in green
Spreading afar…
Are now but underground tar!
Mighty forests once lush with life in green
Spreading afar…
Are now but underground tar!

This poem was inspired by the CD "All One Tribe" by Scott Fitzgerald. Heavy in drum beat, it evokes a sense of the shifting desert sands, together with the wailing in the background, paints a Middle Eastern Image influenced by a haunting melody of a western touch.
