The Coconut Tree

and like a shark you must keep moving forward bare your teeth – lest mistaken for a coward be ruthless – or you’ll drown in your sorrows only the strong will live to fight again tomorrow swimming through longevity for eternity – an ocean paradise just over the horizon – an oasis beacons an Island of treasure – wealth beneath the waves the human condition is – to never arrive alive! dreams do come true in life – only for the brave life is through before it even begins – for the slave master your own destiny – choose to be free as the ocean wind that blows the coconut tree
