     Picture a boat:

. 

The boat is sinking

slowly

and all aboard know it

.

but there's not for them to do 

to save themselves

but sit, quietly, and row.

.

.

Panic grips a sailor in the center

as the fate they must all endure

is a fate he has not yet learned

.

to accept.

.

.

"The ship is sinking!"

"We are all going to DIE!"

.

.

The other sailors kill him, 

toss him overboard

to resume their fatal rowing. 

.

They know his words to be true

but his panic will kill them faster.

.

.

What is the lesson in this story?
