Perched upon the wide open sea
watching waves whip endlessly
against the sides of the lives
that try to stand strong
but whimper against the weather.

Whilst they wail wordlessly
the ocean opens
and they can try no longer
to fight the fury
that happily hinders them again.

They cannot see the escape
cannot face the fierce facts
that the best barricades
are built better
with brothers.

If only they had seen
the carnage coming,
gallantly gathering gusto
heading straight towards them
before tirelessly tearing them to pieces.

Don't give up
dare to delve deeper
within the walls
you'll find worthy weapons
to wield against the waves
that will eventually break against your shores
not neatly knocking them down.
