Stuck On An Island of No Hope

Stuck on an island of no hope You're stuck on an island, what are your choices Hopefully the seeds in your head are good voices First look towards the rising sun for direction That was easy. Now look for shelter and protection Now think ... if mosquito a breeding near water You best look for an area that's dry my little squatter So look for a cave, or an area out of the wind Keeping in mind that those palms are godsends And look towards the fauna for twines, roots and leaves To make bedding, clothing or anything else make believe To my little squatter this won't be easy, I'm not going to lie You might have to suck it up-on worms, parasites and fungi That is if you want to survive and see another day of hell To my dear squatter ... is anything I'm saying ringing a bell The point is you need to use your ingenuity and know how It's not that hard to use a rock to a stick to a bow an arrow It's not that hard to use a rock to a stick to make a fire And who knows you might catch a fish or roast a sire Personally I would also leave a note to kin Scribbling on wall to give them closure that you were a has been See you need to be thinking. Don't let the elements get to you As life's destiny screams and wanes in brew My last bullet in the chamber would be to burn the island down So it sends a signal that it's hey me come rescue me, I'm still around Oh I'm so smart. Yeah right. Above all keep your chin up, speak to the Gods or your mama Like mama thank you for the voodoo doll spike and all this drama Okay that was a joke, the point is you need to keep your spirits up As you drink out of your last supper's cup Okay that was a joke, too, my little pup Enough of the jokes. Words to the wise, though, keep out of the sun And have fun. connie pachecho 1/13/17
