Upon the Shores

Memories of an angry sea
to keep them grateful for their lives
and fantasies to believe
while their hell was paradise.

chasing a dream
their favorite past time
down a rapid stream
living for their last time

who would there be to tell them
that no one would survive
who would be there to tell them
their truth is all a lie

stranded on the shores they live:hardly living:hardly human
stranded on her island:hardly living:hardly human.
