In This Island Of Orient Sea

Rating: 5.0


Ten years away thereafter
Here I am in my native land
Reminiscence to go over
From my younger years in this land

The plan to hop in each 7,100 or more islands
Of which it will be a pleasure to do
But just be contented whatever to reach in hand
To my hometown and neighboring towns to go

In a few days by the beach
I saw the difference of the nature
In this orient sea, I reached
Sea with different species of creatures

Amazing fishes with different colors
Down to the basin with lovely plants
Coral reefs with flora they feature
Such a wonderful relation hand in hand

There must be happiness down the sea
Such a big difference of life in the surface
With fresh air within this island to be
Withal different air in this island it face

In coincidence at this time of my visit
There's a different air had created
Here again are the Politicians habits
Promises in the air they set

In this island of orient sea
The foul smell of promise I smell
This pretending they know you to be
But soon to forget you, I feel

After you selected the one who will govern
Do you think they will remember,
the promises of all the promises to their concern?
Think about it, for some they don't remember

In this island of orient sea
By the beach I breath the fresh air
In shadow of doubts I see
As in my mind this need to be cleared

In silhouette is the bright sun
With rainbow of prosperity we seek
Do you think the doubts of promises will be gone?
With these Politicians, can poverty be resolved as we expect?

As they (Politicians) had this disease
The disease of forgetfulness
Much worse than the Alzheimer's disease
In this island of orient sea, prosperity full of promises?

True.... How ironic can it be, while you are surrounded by the beautiful promise of nature, an endless promise of lies can be heard on the background... But I do hope that while you were here, you had a nice time... Thanks for the nice comments you made on my poems...
