[Alaa Saad]

Tides of Endurance

Tranquil lake/ Seafolk fisherman/ Woven Nets/ Cradled dreams

Ascending tides/ Drifting time/ Depleting Waters/ Pillaging livelihoods

Life to blood/ Fish to death/ Body to silhouettes/ Care to neglect

Fish perish/ Inhabitation chokes/ Once fertile/ Now barren

Shadowed skies/ Insatiable greed/ Leaving behind/ A desolate wasteland
