no life jacket


The dragon boat tragedy
Of sane people knowing the rules
Learning it through attending courses
Tips from the season rowers

On the dragon boat
Floating gliding in the open sea
Facing the natural giveaways
Windy breeze choppy waves

Feeling good the good wind
Plowing in the sea water
Drumbeats rowers rowing
Cutting through the water
At furious paces

Then the choppy waves
The dragon rowers battle it
When the boat is capsize
The rowers fall into the sea

Life jackets they forget
A few drowned as the tragedy of the sea
Is it true the fault of the wind?
It's the carelessness of human beings

We see plying everyday
On rivers and open seas
Life jackets hardly wear
Is it fate they believe?
