Journey To Nowhere

Children's screams fill the air;
Pelting rain everywhere,
Blackened skies and raging waves
As we sail towards our watery graves
What we were promised will never come,
The land we will never reach only exists for some
With all hope gone of making it there,
The pain was more than I could bare
Bitter tears ran down my face
The boat started moving at a break-neck pace
Nature did what it wanted done,
Waves broke over the boat and then there were none
