Islander
Wave just kiss the shore
Retreat back to the sea; he
Does not belong there.
Back and forth he kiss
Retreat back again to sea
Does it everyday.
For so long a time
By obsession, he decide
Engulfing all lands.
No more land, all sea
By obsession, he's now king
Land is his minion.
Union came intense
The sea and land give off from
belly an island.
An island so white
Cleaned, unblemished, innocent
Fresh from conception.
For so long a time
The intruders like it; trees grow
Birds and the likes came.
The island news fame
People came, live one by one
Big constructions rave.
The island rose fame
Foreigners came lodge and lull
You'll hear laughter roar.
Beauty and commerce
Rule the island; visitors
In all walks flourish.
They are now at peace
The land rule the inside reign
The sea rule outside.
We're just visitors
Here, there, near or everywhere
We goes back our home.
