Black Scorpion
Out to conquer
Crawled on burning sand
Parched as the summer
Across the lands
Without fear
Venomous from the moment of birth
To the edge of the earth!
Endless rainfall
Quenched the man’s thirst
Dived in the deepest
The mightiest ocean
Against the tide
Defying the current
Swam away from the shore
To the end of the sea!
