Your poem painted a disturbing image in my mind about the current state of the world as being rather like a sinking ship, but people are at various stages of fomenting & denial, taking a stroll around the deck with big waves sloshing forth, we see some praying with religious fervor while others are ranting about who's at fault. Then there's me hanging out in the wilderness where there are so few waves, it feels like none of this is really happening! *wink! wink!* Fondly, Margie
Whenever I think of tragedies like this, I want to ask God only one question: why? Why did You think any of this was a good idea? A haunting song for an equally haunting event.

I guess somewhere way back when, God promised he would never talk. Thanks.
this moves me, just as the story of the Titanic has...and the movie as well...such sorrow and bravery at the same time...as those poor souls vanished beneath the cold waves....just because a ship's owner had something to prove.
well done, Tim,

Puts you in a bit of a hazy trance with the imagery and language. Don't have a lot to say cause I kind of just really like it. In the last stanza I think you forgot an end quote(') on "thou".
I thoroughly enjoyed reading and getting lost in this poem!
