There once was an island
So beautiful and serene
Where the young were
Allowed to go
On condition they
Did not break the
Only rule.
It was separated
From the mainstream
Of civilization
By a vast expanse of ocean
Which spread as far
As the eye could see.
Could they start anew?
Could they have a
Fine new world,
A second chance
For mankind?
The leaders found
A seashell in the sand
And blew into it
As into a horn
As simultaneously
The waves behind them
Washed away all traces
Of their past world.
In the forgeground lurked
A strange unfamiliar beast,
Unlike any they had seen before.
Reminded me of the movie “The Beach” at first and then took a wonderful turn into suspense.

Thanks. I ‘ve never seen that movie. I cheated and took a lot of ideas from ‘The Lord Of the Flies’
