Man At Bay, Unity Away
-man at bay, unity away-
I stepped to the shore
alongside the unity
of my whole being and watched
all that i tried to fix
happen
I saw pieces
trying to be a piece
I saw clothes tattered very bad
trying to make a clad
i saw deltas flowing
answering the seas calling
i saw too the sky
and ground on one side to lie,
but this storm of misunderstanding
that swept me to shore
makes every other man stand at bay
and unity with the island far away
from tales of the sailor.
