Arawak

They were a  quiet people

who lived on an island 

made of kindness,naivety 

and a little laziness 

who fed of on the spirit 

of the times .

 The gods were not very demanding

not requiring sacrifices .

Everywhere round fragrant fruits abounded .

And also the fish in the lagoon .

 It was a small island dancing  in the trade winds

where the girls were beautiful and fertile .

 The ocean\'s waves came to mingle 

with the white sand of the shore .

 Then was indeed and old volcano 

but it has been dormant for so long .

The cheeky kids came 

and pulled its beard ,laughing ...

the warriors were strong  and peaceful,

competing only in manly contests

under the king\'s benevolent gaze...

 The elders told the legend of a time 

when it rained for 3 millions years !

Everyone listening,huddled round 

the fire place...

But fortunately the wizzard 

watched out over the whimsical clouds ...

 Did he know that beyond the horizon 

there were other people who thought 

they were alone in the world,

who told them the legends of a book

written in an obscure language of fear .

  One morning a large sail apparead ,

carried by a foul wind .

 From the great ship descended 

a god with stormy eyes  and iron heart .

No need for a forbidden garden .

 History open the door of knowledge.

Without even to seduce ,

the serpent succeeds in its gamble...

My little island has become  a tax haven 

for Manhattan wizzards who no longer 

watch the capricious clouds ...

 The ghost of  the warriors roam 

the polluted beaches 

where the sated bellies of  believers 

commune ...

 The old volcano feels a dull anger 

rising within it .

 the ocean womb  gives birth 

to children of  the deep .

Breaking the humiliating symbol

of the torn puppet .

Appears the  radiant  face 

of the forgotten gods ...

  The manger will be empty .
