They weren\'t there

They were not there
They can’t say
They weren’t there
They only know what they hear
A nice day
Can easily turn bad
One smile
Can turn into a million sad
Teens only trying to have fun
3 only just start to swim
2 make it
1caught in the middle
Another swims towards
I can’t breathe
Or hold my own
“Move to the right…”
He’s out of my sight
I start to float
Where is he?
One minute and half another
Too long… it’s just too long
One teen ask for a phone
Calls for help
We tell them “THE” location
But they’re no help
Repeatedly
He’s right there
He’s right there
But they search elsewhere
10 minutes
Please OH my GOD
He’s right there
Once again, no help
“Did you contact the family? Don’t”
“We’re going to do all we can”
“This doesn’t look too good”
This is all I hear at night in my mind
To the hospital we go
All blaming ourselves
Praying the whole way
For Jamelle, on this Earth to stay
I continue to pray
The youngest screams and fights
The oldest; distraught
Tears and screams are all I ever dream
This is what I seen
News papers, radio, reporters, the TV
They don’t know
They weren’t there
They only know what they hear
