A great Sub Poem by Eugene O Neill

[gasparweb]

Maybe it has been already posted (I refuse to search for it).
While I'm spanish speaker, this poem is just too good to let it go.

My soul is a submarine.
My aspirations are torpedoes.
I will hide unseen
Beneath the surface of life
Watching for ships,
Dull, heavy-laden merchant ships,
Rust-eaten, grimy galleons of commerce
Wallowing with obese assurance,
Too sluggish to fear or wonder,
Mocked by the laughter of waves
And the spit of disdainful spray.

I will destroy them
Because the sea is beautiful.

That is why I lurk
Menacingly
In green depths.

That was quite good, I will have to write that one down! Thanks for posting!
