Of Burning Desire


In the land of the Djinn, how do you fair?
Do you wish upon their strength and magic?
Are you mesmerized by their power
As they split the sky, sundering the air?


Fierce, they are, these ones form the City of Brass.
Kindred of devils, mankind unaware
Of the true trappings of the bond they have.


Caliphates and Sheikhs use them for warfare,
Land and goats, wives and camels. Barbaric!
It can be tricky, in your darkest hour
Not to call upon them when you despair.
