Sadly--
Head Chief dies after leading his people to safety.
The followers cry with grief . . . devastation!

Dedication--
An honor to represent the life of the Chief.
With a stone statue head, all people will not forget . . . remembrance.

Safety--
Built around the perimeter of the island.
Protecting the people on the inland, no harm will come . . . security.

Forgotten--
Bodies surrounded by dark, dingy, dirt.
Part of the earth . . . comforting.

Representing--
Above the ground, Easter Island,
Looking out, to the sea . . .  stonehenge.
