Lamentations On Ocean Top

Lamentations On Ocean Top Sailing on a calm day Surfaces of a criminal storm emerged Seemingly lifeless but with power Bent on malevolence Forces of indifference Towards babies and the needs of puppies on board The disturbance had no decency It carries all creatures to their end With no cause or lamentation The sea parts ways Takes all remnants of stock and life To be sunk and buried beneath the waves Autochthonous (as indigenous) autocracy (as one rule) native to nothing Touching the mortal core at every spill of wine and grace The visual of the kill stabs at the heart of reason And who knows what mercy lies beneath those savage seas And who could touch that nerve of nature That murders babies and their pets That ruins ships and makes all navies but a speck While spitting splinters in the face of justice The yellow bright disc beams down Like cutting shattered law on glass Illuminating the debris And beauty of nature But no civility or honor shown in that same light A mirror on the covered deaths Went well beyond our understanding Beneath the pulsing fluid turmoil Only to end in rage and grief And to that end I thank you For keeping this to yourselves And out of the reach of our tender young ones
