On the world
news front it was for the Thais good news and bad news time
Good news revealed
that 4 soccer players were extracted through the muddy waters and slime
To emerge
after a perilous journery of 6 hours at the mouth of their flood cave
A true testimony
of a world united to flock to the site to try to them save
Monsoon
rains in the near forecast could have further flooded their narrow dry ledge
Forcing them
further into the cave away from the waters’ rising edge
Bad news is
that a tour boat off the island of Phuket capsized
With 41 tourists
having died
With the
tally to be higher by 15 who have not been found
More likely
than not they have probably drowned
Even at a beautiful
tropical vacation spot
Live life to
the fullest before the dark boatman has you sought.
