Plan Of Action - Poem


I want to be alone on an island.
Way out in the Pacific.
Just me and the water.
Coconuts and the fish.
Sleep on the beach every night.
Leaving civilization behind.

No more time for the rat race.
I lost, but I'm just fine.
My plan of action, started out as just a distraction.
Will carry me through the desperate times.

Could move into the forest.
Surrounded by oaks and firs.
All the woodland critters.
Until they become my dinner.
Out of the trees I could try to build a cabin.
Only to find I have no memories to fill it.

No more time for the rat race.
I lost, but I'm just fine.
My plan of action, started out as just a distraction.
Will carry me through the desperate times.

There's not a person I would miss.
Nor anyone to tell I'm leaving.
Let the rest of the population fight amongst themselves.
And laugh when they destroy the species.

  1. Take me with you! I promise I will stay on the cloudy side of the island where it rains all the time. I very much enjoy the line " My plan of action, started out as just a distraction." I have knack of joking about something, then realizing I would like to act on it. Many times these distractions have brought long lasting joy to my life.
