'The Island that Time Forgot'
Dear Sir:
Cayman has become a monopolized metropolitianparadise. Its becoming harder to find a job or an affordable hometo buy and, with rent sky high each time you pay the landlordyou want to cry, it's like living in a city instead of an island,times have really change here for sure a lot of progress whichwe are now learning, comes with a lot of stress, I wonder sometimesif its for the worse or the best, because to keep up with it wehave to give more of ourselves, but receive less. For an islandso rich, why are so many financially falling into a ditch?
On the other hand however, it could be worse,still I have to wonder if all this progress is a blessing or acurse, because I don't see where we are getting any more moneyto put into our purse; but I see more and more people been drivenoff to the cemetery in a hearse. Tell me what is going to happenwhen this booming economy bubble bursts, to whom will we turnto quench our thirst?
The island that time had once forgot hasnow become a melting pot, with seven hundred billion dollars.They claim say that is here, seems like only the elite is gettingtheir fair share, for the rest of us, I don't think they reallycare, while some work hard and some only sit in their arm chair.
This poem is to remind our leaders thatwe the people see the darkness and the light within all the progressand wealth, which has contributed, to our present day mess, whichwe thought would have led to more not less.
