The Last Grand Performance.....
Merry sounds here and there,
people waving off the edge,
children screaming with festive joy,
As the beauty set its sail.
No one knew
Ever for sure that
Death may come
And that death may reap.
Everyone felt safe,
Safe in the ship,
Safe as in heaven,
Safe as at home.
Then it happened
The merry sounds turned
Into raging screams
As the white ghost hit the vessel.
The vessel did shriek,
It did turn,
As everyone realised that
Not all of them would be saved.
The Captain shouted;
″ Let the women and the children pass first,
And let them be saved;
My dear brothers, Remember our Country
Be British, Be true. ”
The whole crew stood by his word
And they all stared back at death,
As he stood behind the wheel.
The women and the children were saved,
Saved by the courage of these men,
The men who will forever remain,
In the walls of history.
As we looked into the sea,
Seeing all those boats sailing away,
Knowing that all hope is lost,
Soon began playing our favorite song,
′ Nearer My God to Thee’.
The ship soon did sink,
Into the depths of the sea,
And our last grand performance,
Still echoes in the walls of history.
