Genie

Ax.Barajas 1980 (Illinois)



Throughout the hands of time.
Underneath thy burning golden sand.
Myths and stories told of a forsaken
artifact.

Men have tried to conquer. Rage war,
to gain your absolute power.
Countless souls have gazed upon your
ominous glow.

In the face of fallen pharoahs. In the
eyes of the great sphnix. Kings and sultans
try to prevail.
Greed takes over consumes a man's
soul to the core. Envy infesation on the
mind. Harvesting in man's desires.

A god like among men. A being, an entity
To fulfill hope and wishes.
Change the essence of poor man's
luck all possibility has no limit.

Across the Arabian sky. Enslaved for
eternity. Carrying with you centuries of
knowledge and virtue.
Three wishes to give, three wishes to make.
Choice has no limit. Being Wise not to squander. Battling through many foes. Sacraficed so many lives. To be in the presence of Aladdins genie.

Lay down your burdens and erase all
your fears. Aladdin genies stares arms folded. One wish to give, one wish
govern all. You battled monsters and vanquished many demons. Kneel before
the great genie.

About this poem

I get inspired by what I see. Sort of a tale and story in a different perspective.
