[hometext] => The Submarine Kursk perished in 2000 as a result of utter indifference. The mini-submarine, presently trapped under the sea may still be res cued. Pray for the re scue of the crew.
[bodytext] =>
Five years ago, a submarine,-
The “Kursk” met her tragic fate,
At the bottom of the Berents Sea,
And help came far too late.
Before our eyes now on TV
Is shown a sad repeat,
A ship is trapped below the sea
And its crew in desperate need.
This time- praise God! -it’s different,
They do our help permit,
Lo! Russia accepts our helping hand,
And help comes forth with speed.
They come by land, by sea, by air,
Determine the quickest route,
But hurry to help the crew - beware!
Their oxygen goes out.
T ’is not the Kursk that lies today
At the bottom of the sea,
But a Mini-Sub, and I ask you to pray
For the crew in this tragedy!
Aug.05/ 2005
In Remembrance of the Tragedy of the Russian Submarine Kursk and its 118 Sailors that perished beneath the Berents Sea.
The below poem was written on August 5/ 2000.
I am not Russian, yet disconsolately
I cry about the Kursk’s great tragedy
In the dark waters of the Berents Sea
And ask the Lord: ”why did this have to be?”
My heart aches for One-Hundred- Eighteen
Entombed, entrapped in the doomed submarine
With dwindling air, trying to break free,
Why, Lord,- why did this have to be?
In vain and futile to excoriate
The proud that asked for helping hands too late
Woe onto image- seeking national pride
That spurned the hands equipped to turn the tide!
Poor weeping mothers waiting to arrive
Rescuing ships to save their young sons life,
Who, for some meager rubles’ salary
Perished beneath the unforgiving sea.
Lament, denounce the chill philosophy
Of callous granite-hearted KPG!
Woe onto dragging feet and woe-betide delay!
Tell-tale of darkly powers holding sway.
Too late, and futile to eviscerate
The fervently elected head of state,
Chill politics, sans pity and sans ruth
Will take control and cover up the truth
Brave sons!, perhaps -maybe-divine decree
Exacted pay for Chechnya’s agony.
Oh Lord, we pray,- we pray -draw onto you,
Into your heart the brave and gallant crew.!
For you alone oh Lord can oversee
The root and core of human tragedy;
And understand its awesome mystery;
And you alone know why this had to be.

Above poem was written while the international helpers were still trying to rescue the submarine Kursk. but were turned down arrogantly.by Vladimir Putin and his staff. .

This write brings to mind our own submarene, (Natulas), that went down in the 60's. My ex, (my childrens father), was suppose to be on the Natulas but for some reason he didn't go. We lost many silers then. Still god spared my kids dad and that was a blessing as he was in the Navy.
This is a very heart wrenching dedication.
I do pray they save these guys down there now.
A masterpeice my dear sweet, caring friend.
luv, huggs, prayer,

In 2000 I wrote the first part of this posting i.e. when the tragedy of the Kursk occurred.and Putin was vacationing ion the Black Sea while 118 sailors perished at the bottom of the sea.
This time help is underway, but it may be too late. They are running out of oxygen.
I just keep praying. To be trapped under the sea is so much worse than a loit of other tragic occurrences of which there are plenty.
So please pray for them.
Thanks and God bless you

If he can just breathe enough oxygen to them they will save them. It is an international rescue now. All they need now is oxygen to survive till they are lifted and put on shore.
Prayers going up;
