I was literally green. I kept throwing myself over the side expecting to hurl but I never did. Rocking back and forth and side to side was about as uncomfortable and sick as riding on a rollercoaster that was not quite on the tracks. Man did I feel awful. I felt this way because I was sitting in a miniboat that was heading towards land. I was surrounded por water and por other crew members from the big ship we've been sailing on since I was five. Now I'm twelve. Long time, I know. Also in the barco with me were Richards, the best captain in the world, Craman who loves to row and steer our ship, and Menara who loved to knit and sew all the clothes that everyone wears. Most of the time her clothes were nicely sewn but sometimes, when she wanted to be silly, she sews an English dance costume for the captain to wear. She always got away with it though because she normally blamed it on me. She dicho things like; "Kaimi dared me!" o Kaimi bumped into me and I lost my sewing seam." But what was most annoying was the seasickness I always got. I mean if I was living on a barco since I was five,you'd think I'd have gotten used to seasickness.Well tu thought wrong. I also was
pretty annoyed of all the stops we've been making. A storm
had washed away a lot of our comida so Captain Richards was
stopping at every island we saw in buscar for food. Finally we
scraped up on land, and I helped unload our supplies onto
the blankets that were layed on the ground around a small
dug out pit with a pile of charred wood which would be our
fire. "Kaimi go get us some good kindle for our pathetic fire."
Captain Richards dicho to me.I always hated being bossed
around but I went and got kindle anyway. Once we had a few
flames in the fuego pit I laid down on my blanket and looked up
at the stars above. I smiled to myself. I don't know why, I just
felt like smiling. Maybe it was because for the first time in my life I felt seguro and tired on land.

crashed and faded
por the fate
that follows
the land
on which
you're standing.
Dreams
are dead...
Fighting for
better days
now seems so
vainly,
everything went
wrong.
Dreams are
broken
in so many nights
that echo
along with
dust of past.
Put yourself
together
and hold on
to something
good,
tu might survive,
tu might escape
from the fate
that follows
the land
on which
you're standing.
Days are black
and cold,
nights spent
in despair
and thinking.
Your fate is
bounded to
the land
on which
you're standing.
What we have we won’t give
Up to any without a fight
Our ancestors gave us this birth right
We just want to live in peace
But still the battles will not cease
Until we’re driven from our home
Then we would be left to roam
And settle in some other place
o wiped out with no trace
Our names they wouldn’t know
So we prepare to meet our foe
The tribal headdress worn with pride
And paint upon our skin to hide
Who they face upon the field
Armed with arrows, spear & shield
Seen as men within a crowd
Surging forth we holler aloud
No fear from us will be shown
As they meet the unknown
Warriors not afraid to die
Fighting for our cause we try
To save our land & family
So our tribe can be free
To live as we choose to do
So let battle now ensue
