six-souls
at the bottom of an Oklahoma lake;
forty-three plus years
and never a wake.
only guesses
and all were wrong,
no one sang any of them
their final sad-song-
let us send them now
on their way,
and let them have their eternal rest
finally, this very day-
a 50 chevy
a 69 camaro,
at last troubled families
are able to let go-
let the stories
be told,
settle the worries
of old-
no illusion
is real,
until the facts are found
that we all feel-
too young
they died,
even though
so many hoped and tried-
truth is truth
for even the young and old,
sooner or later
must let go of their souls-
no one knows
for certain why,
the only reality is
every one eventually does die-
for these six souls
are finally blest,
as their mysterious disappearance
is at long last laid to rest-
God may your mercy
now shine,
on those who have waited for an answer
such a long, long time-
