Notes About The Poem
In the below write i have put together some of the threads of conversation am aware of I have no axe to grind..Although As all here know i am no fan of wars.' All blessings." ( ok people i'll get more precise) On the conversation I mentioned.' To be honest I got a sudden picture in my mind of U S sailors Baulking at carrying on the war.' And i percieved Scuttling might happen.? I thuough it was of my Own subconcious..Then i was informed on a you-tube Channel, that some sailors had stuffed t' shirts Into drains and turned on ships taps.' So I do Not want to be glossing over reality.' All blessings In Jesus's name.)

Scuttle diplomacy '

Will sailors be scuttling ships.' 
If the US navy; gets in a real fix? 
In the great gulf of a war
with  rockets in short store
Hulls in shallows, like half showing bricks'

The power of God is Beyond the human mind Sara..For nearly 30 years I tried to rationalise this.' Looking at is as a manifestatuon of human desires? Need for a greater reality.' But no He is self-existensial and the times He has suggested events to me are wild.' I thought it was my own mind you see..But if you are grafted in? like sap in a tree His Spirit move as if you are at times one.? I see the 5th fleet is now trapped.' Such a sad state..If J was them I would surrender now..God is not 'with this war' my prayers for your service personnel.) Bring them home Lord.'
