This is dedicated to the latest catastrophe of the Russian nuclear submarine - "Kursk". My prayers are with the crew, their families and everybody who's out there trying to help. The submarine sank into depth The ******* said - we need no help! Like always, Russians are the best Discretely tried to clean the mess Instead of trying to save lives... At home they're waiting - kids and wives! While hundred mothers climbing walls Death waits... Sharpenning it's claws. Where is the reason? See no sence... Don't think they really stand a chance The Russian pride - what is it worth? A hundred lives like candles burnt... They oxygen will last for days But I, I know their truthful claimes There were explosions, water leaked For days they've heard nobody speak. It seems their lives gained no respect For what a way he chose to act!? To Sochy went, he needs a rest He's on vacation - screw the rest! |

I agree, this piece of news is bad news.  Pride is such a ridiculous emotion. No better example than this. When lives are lost because of it. Lotharingia "Dreams are life, reality, creation" Miguel de Unanumo |

Excellent description of the situation. This is so sad, I fear there is no hope anymore. Another tragedy. Good to see people care here. cat... |

Thanks everybody... Divine: yes, sorry I used the bad word, but I was so MAD at Putin for turning down help... If he asked for it sooner, maybe the British navy could have done something sooner, but he asked for it too late because of this pride he has and now they can arrive there only tomorrow and the others only by Sunday morning! |

Hmm... yeah, read this earlier today, but didn't have time to respond... Terrific outpouring of feelings... when I first heard about this I felt so for the people in that sub! How awful! Good poem. |
