This Island you made, you beautifully created

With luscious land with verdant hills

You gave us a home

For years you stood quietly and watched

As slowly we inhabited your land

You never meant to share

But you were generous enough

We took advantage of your home we destroyed your forest

Cut down your trees polluted your land

How could this be?

You stood and watch how cruel we humans could be

Countless times you forgave our silly mistakes

Till finally it was enough

Tears flowed from your eyes

You stood on your hill and plot your revenge

You watched and watched while we slept

You know the time was right so,

With the view from my backyard

I saw you huff and puff

Your land you reclaimed

As fright filled our lives

You expanded our shores

A backyard adventure indeed it is to live with the VOLCANO!
