The Desert Experience Poem by Qiniso Mogale

The Desert Experience



Deserted by friends
Deserted by relatives
Deserted by colleagues
The desert experience
The humbling experience.

Under trials in the desert
Under tribulations in the desert
Fierce temptations in the desert
With no shoulder to cry on in the desert
Shouting but no one responds
Calling but no one answers
The desert experience.

The desert experience reveals people's true
colours
The desert experience reveals people's motives
The desert experience exposes wolves in sheep skin
In the desert we see our true friends.

The desert experience cultivates our faith
The desert experience strengthens our characters
The desert experience cultivates endurance
The desert experience cultivates perseverance
The desert experience ensures our promotion.

The poet has nicely examined the reality of human relationships. Here, desert is used as a metaphor to unveil the evil designs of our detractors as well as to identify our strengths in difficult times. Thanks.
