Tribute to the Great Ship of Dreams. Anything is possible.

1. Tribute to the TITANIC
by MUNASHE MONICA RUPAZO

2. In her search for life in despair,
It was then that she found her survivor.
In her anguish for someone to love,
It was then that her thirst was quenched.

3. Steady, steady!
They yelled in the calm winds,
Which waited to devour the ship with frost.

4. Away the primary lives set off,
Shooting fireworks into the sky
To light the misery on their confused faces.
As if everything was going to be alright.

5. In their sleep they fell into the pool,
Dipping their souls into sauce for death to devour.
The ship was sinking into the belly of the ocean.
All quenched in fears for their husbands to come back to them.
Likewise did the children pray

6. Inventors and investors succumbed to the tragedy,
Catastrophe calling none brilliant to overcome.
Only luck that a man could find for himself.

7. The richest bribed for survival
The poorest struggled for survival.
Holding onto prayers with stained hope.

8. Wealth had no meaning to her it gave not much she needed.
She would rather die a perfect man’s whore
Than to die a wealthy heartless man’s wife.

9. They locked them up in cages of suffocation,
Yet fireworks rose to the sky and never reached the limits,
To light the misery on their confused faces.
As if everything was going to be alright

10. Stay back, do not panic, the classic music played.
She knew deep inside her this would end,
Her mind denied her to go and so did her heart,
Her face did not lie.

11. Too young to cry and too old to walk,
Too rich to run and too in love to let go,
They died.

12. Too Hurt to leave and too confident to fail,
Too proud to accept, too pained to die,
They died.

13. Swimming beyond the life boats, too many to live
They died.
A diamond image, all that was left,
All that was forgotten

14. Where they first met
Where they last met,
The ship sank there.
