Dead Pool

- Just a normal,

Typical,

Summer day at the community pool...

Or so I thought.

- The sun was shining in the sky,

And the air was sticky with

The humidity of an August storm...

And all around was death.

- The water was crystal clear

And cool enough to counteract the burning heat

Of the aggressive sun;

But the bottom of the pool

Was littered with bodies.

- Mothers, fathers, friends...

And the water was contaminated with

The dead children of those poor souls

Lying motionless forevermore...

On the bottom of that

Dead pool.
