In the old days we were heroes


The old days were a place of ice.
These days are a tropical island.
Just so you know. It's time to know.

In the old days we brought our own flour.
We said our own prayers.
We ate our own ponies.

These days a barge delivers
pallets of Pepsi.
Every household has a dinghy.

Six people have laptops.
There’s a church and a pastor
and a dentist in Nukunonu.
