1941, USS West Virginia
Ariel torpedoes racing like steel shark
Dropped into the water to ignite their cremation
Ripping right through as if made out of tin
Abandon ship
All who can
Say goodbye
To life and limb
But three men didn’t make it off
Although they breathed in tact
For sixteen days they lived submerged
Sixteen days to be
For sixteen days to contemplate
A slow and lingering death
Their clanging cries did not go unheard
Nothing could be done
