If Stranded
I would not need an object,
Or a specific person,
Because even deserted islands
Can be useful and welcome.
What I need is
A quality,
One of a great necessity
When surviving alone.
Perception, I desire.
Create a Wilson and elude insanity,
Build filtration systems for water,
Assemble weapons to hunt and protect,
Kindle fires emitting warmth and preparing my food,
Constructing shelter and S.O.S.'s,
Understand the island's habitat,
Know what to do and when.
Innovation would save me.
I would survive.
Idea and idea,
Would keep me alive.
All I would want on that
Deserted Island would be
One thing,
Ingenuity.
