Oh Cape Breton,
how empty could you be today?
Does it ever feel lonely?
You are growing colonies
magnificent branches,
like the salutary bacteria
assisting mortals to stay alive
but, could they ever be enough?
To the mass,
you are just a gate,
a gateway;
as you say.
What's in it for you?
you're just bolting them
like an ecstasy
skipping the reality
But you do have a few,
a few regarding your worth.
They are not here to
take, take, take
but to give, give, give
Have you ever tasted love?
You did.
But did you ever return?
You did.
To those who never had you
in their limbic.
