I Don'T Understand

Us obediently unaware; the water is getting higher
Sharks of every shape swimming circles conspire;
How did we allow this broken plain to land;
Obviously; the break was visible in that wire
When did you decide to ignore this, electrical fire
Feelings mean little; judged by where you stand
Everyone, even me, needs to feel some desire
Alone has never been; what I truly require
Ripped down the middle; our bed a sinking island;
How can I stop this; from getting more dyer
Are you prepared to receive that legal flier;
Right or Wrong; I can not fix, what I don't understand
