unrelenting adversity
waylays many hopeful dreamers
naively pursuing popular ambitions
and conquers their futures
before they have a chance to blossom.
shall this be our fate too?
refusing to believe the lie
offered to stall our advances
suggesting our error-prone methods
belie righteous motives,
we press forward
in an unwavering attempt
to extract bounty from desert lands.
