The Gobi Desert
Diocesan Boys’ School Primary Division, Joshua Wong, Poetry: Group 2
The Gobi desert, a vast, empty place.
No man on Earth can survive with nothing.
The funny thing is just that
The Mongolians can but how do they?
There is this Silk Road that helps them live.
They trade with passing strangers.
Mongolians, giving them skins of animals,
While strangers give them food or water
The vast place this Gobi desert
A thirsty beach, so dry so hot.
It’s a never-ending trail of sand.
A dry piece of land on the other hand,
This sandy ocean, the hell’s forge,
Night cools down to freezing temperatures,
The extreme place of survival.
