The above heading is the title of a novel (as well as a movie) that tells of a ship’s tragic fate the night of April 15th, 1913—this world-shocking event comprising the content of my piece this week.

The Titanic Story

She was a luxury

liner

unrivaled in

her day

but—on her maiden

voyage

sank beneath

the waves

of an ice cold

Atlantic Ocean—

the cause

of her sinking;

in which

more than fifteen

hundred souls

were lost…

What a tragedy! One that

perhaps

could’ve been

averted

if—

prideful voices

would not have

proclaimed:

“Even God

couldn’t sink

this ship!”
