This was a commercial maritime catastrophe.
Could it happen in the twenty-first century?
Such a disaster happened off the coast of Italy.
A ship ran into the shoals of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
It happened in 2012 on the thirteenth of January.
The Costa Concordia was a modern cruise liner.
For a luxury ship, there were none that were finer.
The incident took place near the Isola del Giglio.
It was the worst event since the Achille Lauro.
More than four thousand people experienced the fiasco.
As the crippled ship rested on its starboard side,
a few passengers and crew were trapped inside.
Nearly everybody was saved, but at least twelve were lost.
Damages are estimated to be at a high cost.
How could this happen in this modern day?
We will hear a lot more, so don’t go away.
Thanks to wikipedia.org online encyclopedia and BBC News for information I obtained to write this poem.

do not go the orphean way,
he thinks, friends meet as strangers
on road, was the absolute absence able
to find an air hole ? the era of truth
dawns too late; calls the windswept
moon as a witness,
the shuddering will distill,
like purple fears from the sieve
of panic and crumbs of blue will fall,
concordia finds a new meaning of
falsehood, stoops, i would say, for
a megacreation,
the baby was found on a garbage
dump in the maddening silence
of protests, the vegans are not going too far,
powerless like a cadaver you do not
want to open the eyes from
a bandaged face

Peace at stake,
it worked.
Withdrawal of rubber dolls
playing with fire.
Empty bowls in lunar month.
Concords were flying very high
noiselessly crossing the peaks
of great grudges.
Pure golden hair –
of grief.
It really was miracle.
Bald eagle was waiting.
Enough time to steer a murder.
The irresistable desire
to rub with a paranoid.
Extracting a genius from mediocre genera.
Life had become too genteel.
