Ghost Ship


by Henry Burt Stevens
12/03/2006
authorsden.com


the ship slips its mooring
unattended sails out to sea


little flags for the people
to wave are still on board


the crew deployed were busy
in a tragic game of cat and mouse


the captain in prayer was searching
to deliver God's gift of democracy


every crew had parents who hope
for safe return or were already crying


repayment for damage to the mooring
and dock were not even considered


the next generation could
work all that out for themselves.
