The Solomon Islands is on the brink, at the moment, of a civil war. They are at the crossroads,

Never such innocence,
Never before or since,
As changed itself to past
Without a word--the men
Leaving the gardens tidy,
The thousands of marriages
Lasting a little while longer:
Never such innocence again.
