Our boat comes

I was not the first the boat brought
From far and near other boats sailed.
Even my arrival on shore,
A lot more had already arrived,
A lot more to set sail.
I knew all these but one
When it will come for me.

We gained our life the moment we arrived
We lost our lives the moment it came for us
No one has ever been left out here
No matter how long
Some of us returned the moment they arrived
Never had the chance to enjoy and toil
Those who stayed wondered without end
Wondered when they will also depart
From this earth and its inhabitants

Those who had their stake deep
Feared to go because they felt part of earth
Death which gives life unending
They never want to hear:
That which will make our leaving smooth.
