Life In An Island.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

Life In An Island....



in Iceland
we were told
that when a man
murders another
man
he is simply thrown
out of the island
and he cannot go
back there
anymore
as he had become
notoriously unacceptable
by his
neighbors

it is the same in
Batan Island
that small island
in the middle of
the Pacific Ocean
where as they say
it is too small for
your dishonesty
too poor for
your cruelty.
