The Titanic Poem by Niki Nicholas Nkuna

The titanic, a marvellous dream of a life time,
Riding the crest of a wave,
The Anaconda of the sea waves,
Forever in the breeze,
Lovers' paradise, next door to heaven,

The titanic, the melting pot for all human kind,
To taste and enjoy the lap of luxury,
The saints, villains, the lame and the innocent,
Intermingle in the realm of love,
Business and leisure, frolic and flirt,
From afar, one sees a gargantuan spectre,
Sliding over the Atlantic,
Divering all the sea waves,
That threatens to obstruct the way,

The titanic, the colossal shark amongst sharks,
In the deep and wide,
The biggest fin keel peddling all sharks,
And all manner of sea creatures aside,
Dominating the undersea and above,
Everything unsteadied except the titanic itself,
The minds of wisdom,
Equal the magnitude of the monster,
Lulled upon by the perceived,
Achievement of the ultimate,
The human race is forever,
Under the shadow of the almighty,

The titanic, the mother of all monsters,
Camouflaging dreams of luxury,
Its body full of gems and gal,
Beauty outstripping ugliness,
In the view of the admirers,
Slowly the village is besmirched,
And sick to it's under belly,
The human race is forever,
Under the shadow of the almighty,

The titanic is sinking,
The cause is small evil left to reign,
And fester with a smile,
The cancer was there when the enjoyment,
Was high but young and fresh for the journey,
Rising with it to the pinnacle of ecstasy and shock,
The havoc too high to withstand the fall from grace,

The titanic, the race of the human race,
Ingenuity versus the Almighty,
The imbroglio signalling the loss,
Of the race by the human race,
All break loose when fright scattered the brains,
Zombies run pell mell,
Further sickening the titanic's belly to high nausea,
Small cause left to reign, too high a price to pay,
The human spirit is forever,
Under the shadow of the Almighty,
