He tried to breathe but couldn't He gasped He called for help from peers They laughed They called him a joker inert He cried If only they knew his plight They don't He sinking with struggle paralyzed He dropped to the deepest deep Inundated Unseen when it's time to depart Alarmed Maybe he've gone to another side They bluffed The search is over he's yet unfound They dived To the deep in search of him Unfound More crowd commenced the search Announced For hours they were without a lead Confused Then a diver saw a figure floating freely beneath the deep He drowned They came afloat but still he lay He died

He died!!!
He tried to breathe but couldn't He gasped He called for help from peers They laughed They called him a joker inert He cried If only they knew his plight They don't He sinking with struggle paralyzed He dropped to the deepest deep Inundated Unseen when it's time to depart Alarmed Maybe he've gone to another side They bluffed The search is over he's yet unfound They dived To the deep in search of him Unfound More crowd commenced the search Announced For hours they were without a lead Confused Then a diver saw a figure floating freely beneath the deep He drowned They came afloat but still he lay He died
This is an ode to my little brother who drowned
