CONCLAVE  IN A DEATH CAVE   

Football a crazy game indeed, yet the die hard fans say ‘its life!’,

Ninety minutes of an action packed show lead them to a zenith,

For the purists, its otherwise, one can’t digest its unseen  strife,

This great game has world wide long passes and fanfare in mirth.

Twenty eighteen, this year kicks the world cup frenzy in soccer,

Thirty two nation, eyeing a coveted trophy in Russia in full flow,

Elsewhere in Thailand, Fourteen buddies had other thoughts

Thirteen budding kids and their coach soaked in football show

This Wild Boar team dreamt an expedition of their life,Oh! man

Passage through Tham Luang Cave was top in their priority,

Tham Luang Kung Nang Nong Non meant a reclining woman

The cave they oft visited, oft enjoyed, for a secluded party

The birthday party inside the well known cave, they did encore,

To scribble their names and purpose, to let the world know.

Thus started their kick off, Russian ambition too was in store,

Never  a second they thought the whole world soon will know.

Engineered an adventure that shook the entire world in awe.

Monsoon paralyzes Thai once too often, in torrents, poured,

The cave mouths flooded, the team stranded, in dark and hue,

They  lost  track inside, exits unsighted and screams unheard

The wails of parents shook the world, experts’ help soared.

Problem aplenty, oxygen source in tatters, waters in swell

The whereabouts of the team missing from satellite world

Alive or drowned, more suspense about the cave did dwell.

British Divers with oxygen masks in frenetic search, in bad sight,

Nine days in relentless search, losing one of their team forever.

Thai Navy Seals joined hands ,the whole world soon in prayers.

Rescue teams  swarmed the , exploring the Pattaya beach.

Nature was in fury, combined with floods, operations in thwart

Fourth day of search led them there, sighting the boys in full

Bringing them out alive, the next challenge, even a greater threat.

Rescuing , still a major task, depleting oxygen adding the misery

Crept, cajoled and carried the captivated team with utmost care

The boys saw the sun finally in batches, nobility beyond words,

Shattered psyche and stuttered speech, yet joyous moments there

All the world delighted, an impossible dream and mission,indeed
