Lamp Holder’s Choice
The sun blazes in the azure sky
Looking up he wonders, am I going to die?
Alone and friendless upon the desert face
He trudges onward in unsteady pace.
Dune after dune of endless sand
Water, Water! is the only demand
Staggering alone, riches long lost
To thieves who’s path on chance had crossed.
Now the only choices left to him
Die alone and be lost to a whim
Or summon the geinie he held
Bound within the sealed bronze and spelled.
Which should he choose in this hopeless plight
Does he open the lamp, let evil take flight?
Or does he take the peril to the grave
Let death claim him, a world to have saved?
On the last line of the second verse you confused "who's" (who is/who has) and "whose" (possessive of who)...?
