He enjoys true leisure who has time to improve his soul's estate. - Thoreau

against the current

against my pride

i wanna paddle a hogtied raft

'til my tattered sail catches an updraft

to stoke my faith and chase away these ho-hums

gonna take along my oompa loompa tuba to go with the steel drums, 

to where the stiped, blowfish dive deep with their innocent scuba

don't wanna wash ashore on castro's old cuba

hell no

better the white sand and palm trees on the island of a saved soul's aruba

Author's Note

"All our Concord waters have two colors at least; one when viewed at a distance, and another, more proper, close at hand." - Thoreau

Wow!
I feel the poet wants to energise his faith and sail to a good place where sandy beaches are full of women in Bikinis and tourists flock to good restaurants and shops.
Money can help a lot to fulfill his dreams.
