Drowning Rock Secrets

there are secrets
you can not unlock
but you do know you can not
save a drowning rock
as it goes down it will
pull you deeper in
squeezing your air
bleeding you thin
in truth a rock is a rock
it can not change
so to save it
is out of your range
as it falls in the deep end
you have to let it go
for it will sink
and you can still flow

"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet)  Shakespeare

Is a drowning rock the same as a sunk ship?
