Elegy of Oceania

Among those in Oceania,

People live in a kingdom by the sea;-

The seashore became their refuge.

Sanctuary is what they saw on that small beach,

But life there is still now;-

The wind touched their dreams before withering away.

Tides trampled upon their fragile dreams.

Each wave washed away their spirits;-

Yet they held steadfast and resilient.

Delicate to the touch, these riders of the Oceania,

Pioneers in a world of despair and suffering;-

They slaved to turn hell into a home.

Coveting a delicate

Their despot's rule receded with the tides;-

They wished for nothing more than contentment.

Let us ride to Oceania,

Seek refuge in their sacrifices to challenge our own vulnerabilities;-

Accommodate their fractured spirits, as we walk alongside their paths.

May we witness their history and the coral walls that held them,

Lament and learn from their sacrifices;-

Let's take a walk through an ocean town.
