SWIM LESSONS

AND THE NATURE OF MAN

By Lora ComoPublished about a year ago 1 min read

When you are washed away by the tides of life,

Swallowed whole by the anonymity of the sea,

And the merciless waves

Deposit you -bloody and battered

On the ragged rocks

Remember;

I will be waiting

when you wash ashore.

to will throw you back in

Because betrayal is the nature of men.

sad poetry
