The Mighty Sea - by John Jeffrie Garry

The might sea roared,
Like a mongrel hoard,
Plunging, swirling, sink,
Dying, he craved a drink,
In utter turmoil and exhaustion,
The giant waves twirled and tossed him,
Fighting the sea with all his strength,
Trying and trying to every known length,
But the sea is as a master divine,
Drowning a man seems, to it, no crime,
A man against the sea and the waves,
Only one thing, life he craves,
Foaming at the mouth,
The sea is his grave,
Here he must die,
No one will cry,
For they know not that he fights for his life,
In turmoil, exhaustion and strife,
The crests of the waves, hitting his face,
Mocking, laughing, at his puny race,
Die human die, the sea insists
Die human die, the sea persists,
Then the rescue team came,
In the drizzling rain,
And snatched the man from the sea,
About half dead, but still alive,
The sea enraged,
Swirls and sighs,
And calms down,
Beaten...
