Swimming in

Swimming in those

Lakes, a little strange

But he has to escape.

The bomb

Having no idea

Until it happens

The carnage.

The wild seas

The wild seas prove

Perilous but he keeps

Sailing elsewhere.

Not until it

Not until it ends

Making the most

Of such short time.

Dark fantasies

Been through such

Dark fantasies and

Now ashamed too.

The unclean spirits

Haunted by the demons

And witches befalling

Everybody else in here.

The nightmares

The athlete can’t sleep

Right, always struggling

In football, fear of being

Bullied and hurt again.

Horrified

Horrified as they

Were talking about

These, so sad too.

Over

It’s over, smoke’s

Gone, so are the

Fireworks too.

Nightmares

Going down the stairs

Dark and sharp below

Rather unsettling too.
