Patti Pedrus Poet Romanticism

Thy Native Land

The island
	Once naive 
now tainted 
by the winds of change
	Once native
now giving birth 
to a race of diverse cultures
	Once a peaceful place
now disturbed
by a rapid modern world
The island
	Once their home
our home
my home
has become an uncertain place in the heart
