In rivers of the Nile,
a sordid stream flows –
a succulent grass thrives
with roots of splendor below.
In rivers of the Nile,
filth and mud surrounds
defiled soil – so unwavering
a viridescent sod still stands.
A cascade, both
unclean and pristine
charged to that of which – a sea;
The deep embraces her;
The deep ushers her.
Within the twisted mesh,
she finds a rewarding
Home.
