Island, a poem by Dr Ronald Eugene Shultz, USA Other Ballad Poems Other Life Poems DUAL CATEGORY THIS POET COUNTRIES Categories: Ballad Poems & Life Poetry Viewed 6028 times Author: Dr Ronald Eugene Shultz, USA Share Poem Island They say no man is an island and that may be true, But an island is the place I need to go to. I have never fit into society's mainstream So to have my own island is my dream. I have never been lucky at love or at cards. I have no money and my heart's broken into shards. I have been fighting a losing battle since day one. For sure, this old life's been anything but fun. I always wanted to be part of the gang and belong. I just can't seem to help singing a different song. It is just impossible for me to be a clone. So like the howling wolf, I'll just walk alone. I'll just take a dog,a computer and a fishing pole And spend my life meditating upon the soul. Just give me an island where I can get some rest. I'll sing my songs to the moon and feel completely blest. Jul 22, 1992 Click to purchase Print 126048 0 Other Author Poems What Is An Outstanding Supervisor?
