and there was nothing left ?

so they talked for hours
and used up all that was there
who could blame them

when we returned they told us in honesty that there was nothing left
they had eaten all, drunk everything till the last drop
and i could not get upset
no i could imagine such careless behaviour happening
and i made no fuss

we made a new rule
we had to get our food and plan everything
put up postits so you knew what was there and what was not
and it seemed to work

we went fishing and gathering bushtucka
we did what we had to to get a meal and survive
and it was not half that bad
atleast we had something to do
we were stranded any way

you never knew where you'd end up next.

we were getting used to this and we drank herbal tea that we gathered ourselfs
ate fish from the river with berries and other grub.
a good life

sometimes we were together for days, not a sign of life
sometimes we were only back for an hour and then the next would dissapear
only to return withing a few days.
but we were stuck
we always were
it felt like a holding place
but now with our rations gone it was more like survival camp.

one day when me and some other went hunting, yeah we spotted some gain.
one other stayed at camp, preparing the fire the old fashion way
and while he was digging he found some bottles
still full
those two had lied
they had kept some things back

this was a set back
worse
this broke my calm

we came back after a good hunt, and were in a cheerfull mood
but it was not lasting long, as we found the bottles
and a dead body.

the two had gone
but i knew
i would have dinner once more !
