Kursk

The ignorance, betrayal, the covering up and lies,
The explosion, floods, the underwater tides,
118 unnecessary deaths, sons and fathers lost,
They signed an oath to go down with the sub
But where there lives just tossed?
Why was foreign assistance refused, why couldn’t others try?
Hours of suffering, freezing cold, oxygen fading by

Hi Melissa
Nice to see you on poetbay again.
I agree with you, unfortunately life itself isn't sacroscent,
The powers that be are willing to save lives.
But only if it benefits themselves,
Or maybe in this case they were not willing to try,
Incase they failed....
