DROWNING
You had your last chance
But now it's too late.
Take your last gasp of air
And plunge to your death.
Do you feel the weights
Pulling you down?
The panic is rising;
You are going to drown.
The deeper you get
The more pressure there is.
The deluge of tears just
Adds to the abyss.
Sooner or later
You're going to hit
The very bottom
Of this water-filled pit.
There is only one way
To get out of this mess;
To be lifted out of this
20,000 league depth.
You must be pulled out
by someone above.
A fisherman with a strong hook
And an excess of love.
For if that love
Should be withdrawn from the bank
That's when the air
Will run out of the tank.
