Food On The Table by Joe Gambino

I sail across the
iron waters
Without giving into my
fears no her fears
Let her carry that burden
while I stay
strong
and
resolute
Because
I am man
I am husband
I find islands that once held life
Before waters submerged the beauty
Dive
Dive
Dive
Deep down
into the waves of death
Pray the spirits don’t notice
I remove pebbles from the eyes the once saw light
and polish the dulled life
into beauty again
A treasure
A gift of love
That becomes nothing more or less
than a useless luxury for
aristocrats
Pillaging life for money
A disgrace
But it feeds those waiting at home
