Tragedy Times Two

katatonia/Adobestock

POETRY FOR INCLUSION

Although they were 2 very different types of sea excursions, with 2 very different goals and types of passengers, they both resulted in a tragic loss of life.

The five explorers

Sights on colossal liner

Ruined by collapse

Flashbacks for Titanic souls

Oceanic abyss weeps

A dream filled vessel

Freedom halted by carnage

Mourning is buoyant

All life is worth rescuing

Currency irrelevant
