The Island Without Greens

The island is rich In natural coal minerals A company begun mining it People come in to force labor For national copper They mined the sea under it The island turn to a fortress wall To house the industry and the five thousand workers They made apartments, schools, courtyards Stores, gym, and other amenities And made ten meter wall around the island They name the island, "island without greens" The island became famous and well known Throughout the archipelago for many decades They produced the country's coal energy Until, one day, the island is not enough To sustain the coal country's energy supply The industry is soon to stop The people begun to abandoned the island Surely, the island is now a ghost island The apartment begun to crumble The newspaper scattered in the courtyard The breeze is now freely wafting all over For years, the island begin to have greens Finally, the island came back to where it began.
