Onwards

Onwards
A paralysis of my mind at seeing a ship on her side,                                                                             nearly level with the sea.                                                                                                                       

Lights on, people still aboard, one journey they never finished.                                                                                                                           Now just historical facts that so few know.                                                                                                 

What would the world think?                                                                                                                           I’d not want to be aboard that ship that night.
