On Missing National Poetry Day

I am an oil tanker,
On fire and sinking,
In the sea,
Burning, sinking,
With all the dreams,
And left alone,
By crew abandoning,
And floating home,
To keep the oil price stable,
High for profit,
Sunk by proxy,
Business wrecked,
To keep some afloat,
And restless,
for a billion more.
