“SOS”

No one hears the cries

of life’s sailors,

praying for their rescue.

All alone in an ocean of depression,

slowly sinking to the abyss of memory.

Sharks stalk the dripping blood

and the heavens strike the wandering mortals,

floating on their earthen haven.

Poseidon has no pity, no lifejacket,

for the sailors who welcome Death.
