The Rescue

This is NOT my first attempt,  

As I gaze towards the left side of the room 

(I am standing in a room full of Gods people) 

The spacious room WAS consumed with PEOPLE WANTING TO HELP  

(We have one firefighter, a retired pimp, and his prostitute, (they found God about 4 years back) 

a middle-aged church lady,  

a catholic priest) 

What do you mean? (They replied) 

I have been out there before,  

I tried to bring one up to the surface 

We must understand that they do not know what is good for them. (I spoke over the group) 

They have been living in this habitat for so long,  

They are under the impression that this where they are supposed to be 

Leaving amongst other species. 

(Confusion rose in the room) 

(My anxiety started; my patients grew short) 

I started looking around when chatter began again. 

I grew Irritated by the stunted urgency  

That is when I walked out  

As I glided past the group  

I yelled……………………………………………………………..they will all die WAITING ON YOU! 

They started to follow  

I started running,  

They started running 

It was as if they were waiting for my every movement, to begin.  

(IT WAS LIKE I WAS PART OF A WEIRD VIDEO GAME)  

We ran about 2 miles until THE WATER TOUCHED OUR FEET. 

aligned WITH THE EDGE OF THE EARTH, I FELT the PULL 

MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS TO GET INTO THE BOAT THAT WAS MOLDED INTO THE EARTH 

WITHOUT A WORD SPOKE amongst us, WE BEGAN TO DIG  

THE BOAT BEGAN TO RISE OUT OF THE SAND AND THE WATER PULLED IT CLOSER into the water  

ONE WAVE AT A TIME  

PEACE WAS THE SOUND ABOVE THE WATER THE BOAT GLIDED ACROSS 

WE TRAVELED ABOUT 364 MILES OUT FROM SHORE  

THAT’S WHEN I FELT THE PULL 

(THE SECOND TIME) 

I DECIDED TO RELEASE THE ANCHOR INTO THE WATER  

I SAT THERE IN COMPLETE SILENCE  

FIRST YOU COULDN’T HEAR ANYTHING BUT THE MOVEMENT OF THE WATER  

SUDDENLY THE WATER GREW STILL 

AND WHEN YOUR HEART STARTED TO BEAT AT ITS MOST VULNERABLE STATE  

YOU HEARD THE SILENT CRIES OF SO MANY WOMEN  

THE PRIEST LOOKS AT ME WITH COMPASSION  

TEARS FILLED HIS EYES, DROPPING ONE BY ONE  

HE BEGAN TO STAIR INTO THE SEA  

DO YOU FEEL THAT (THE PRIEST SAYS)  

YES, I CAN  

(I STARED AT HIM, WITH DEPTH IN MY EYES) 

The ONLY DIFFERENCE FROM YOU AND I, I CAN FEEL THEIR PAIN, WHEN I AM MILLION MILES AWAY. 

TO BE CONTINUED.
