Liza is Dead

The report said

He got drunk and fell overboard at dawn

But Liam didn't drink

And that sink was full of teeth and so much blood

And some bone fragments and hair that was pulled out

The ring Louse gave to Liam said

"My precious boy

I’m so proud of you for living out your dreams

I love you and hope you find your sea legs"

Was displayed on a string

Next to a tin wall in the gallery

So that everyone could hear it clink

A constant reminder

Of what could happen to anyone on board at any time

What could he have said that was so bad?

Was it because the president waged a war

And put a target on every transitioning soldiеr

What could he have done or could havе said

To make his shipmates pulverize his head

And cave in his skull

Throw his lifeless body over the hull

The videotapes were never found
