The Prime Mover Niamey Dusk and Dust
Tasked with the daunting mission to haul the desert away
An ageing green truck waits for cooler times to start its work
Idle men on top watch the shovels intently, but they refuse to move on their own
Victory is earned in blood sweat and tears regardless of the help of divine winds
While men sit and talk about their past battles and the impending death at the road’s end
The wind swiftly moves the desert and the dunes further away
