Undecided

Stuck on this island for your whole life
Everyone thought you should have long died
Surrounded by the dangers of the jungle
They thought it was a miracle for 15 years you survived

Dangers from the sky
Once or twice a flower pot flies
Yesterday another window fell,
The one below was fine.
The one on top, fined.

For the 15 years you survived
Four fifth you were jailed
Sitting in boxes,
Reading from sheets
To figure why pots flew
How one plus one is two

But just as a coin has two sides,
This is jail, but also paradise;
To find your delicate prey
Yesterday you ate the hainanese chicken,
Today the Indian prata.
Tomorrow, I wonder who?

For the 15 years you survived
You know when you’re told to go left
You better not go right
You know you’ve seen it all.
People who complain to wait 15 min for a SBS bus
But penguins to queue 15 hours for a vase
