Black eyes, lifeless eyes. Like a doll’s eyes.

USS Indianapolis
Indianapolis left,
With near twelve hundred men,
Only three hundred sixteen,
Would come back again,
And so secret was she,
sent no call of distress,
The torpedoes got some,
And the sharks got the rest,
They delivered the bomb,
And in secret returned,
‘Til a Japanese sub,
Their location discerned,
And a pair of torpedoes,
With hardly a sound,
Put a hole in her hull,
In 12 minutes she drowned,
Some unlucky three hundred,
Joined her when she did sink,
Nearly 900 men,
Still remained in the drink,
Oil-coated, they floated,
Out there in the dark,
But when dawn broke upon them,
They saw the first shark,
Floating there in the flotsam,
And then came the screams,
Then the spreading red water,
That would haunt them in dreams,
Doll-eyed bulls, hungry tigers,
Whites and fierce hammerheads,
Bodies bobbed, as asleep,
Bitten in half, were dead,
In warm seas of the tropics,
The blue water was clear,
Sailors spied swimming specters,
Of death drawing near,
As the salt and sun burned,
Robbing men of their pallor,
As these beasts had their feast,
Taking six men an hour,
Adrift in the ocean,
No planes, and no birds,
Only sharks by the thousand,
And the screams of two thirds,
But as bad as the day was,
The night was the worst,
Though surrounded by water,
Sailors cried out from thirst,
It was nearly 4 days,
Until rescue would come,
Men were begging for death,
Wishes granted for some,
Dying words from the wounded,
Vests unstrapped from the dead,
All while unblinking monsters,
Would grow fat and well fed,
With near twelve hundred men,
That doomed ship had set out,
Only three hundred sixteen,
Would still be about,
Of that secret ship’s sailors,
Were near nine hundred less,
The cruel sea claimed the lucky,
And the sharks got the rest.
