Self Destruction

 Each man has his own island
  where happiness and joy flourish
 Among undergrowth and peaceful vines.
   winds glide gently along
   But each island is surrounded
   by treacherous waters of hate
Guilt and self-destruction are there
   to arouse mankind's curiosity
When the deadly waters of greed
      wash upon man's shores
 He will be engulfed
Alone with the uncultivated plants
that could have been his salvation.

    Jls/69 (Joni)
