Splish splash The waves crash on the sandy shore Attracted to the ground up rocks Like children to lollipops Or bees to flowers. Splish splash The waves are getting fierce Rain is starting to pour Like a child with a hose Spraying their brother on a warm summer day. Splish splash The waves are like skyscrapers Towering above me Maybe I should go; I’m all alone now. Splish splash The waves have formed into one One giant wave covering my island I run away, up the mountain. Splish splash The devastation is done The buildings lie everywhere So do the bodies I am the only survivor. Why Why did I survive and not the wise old man down the street Why not the old merchant who only sold oranges and beets What would father say? I know I know what he would say He would say, “Because you are you and no one else is you. That’s why you survived.” Now he is gone Splish splash The waves are calm again Attracted to the sandy shore Like children to lollipops Or bees to flowers

this is my first longish one, so you know, it's not the best
