“Exciting News”

The one that catches your eye,
(Not the first in the news feed)
 
None miss this breaking story
Tell everyone before they know
Can’t be more excited about the coming sorrow:
obsession, eventually his concession.
 
What a story of love these two had;
she, and he defined the meaning.
“Fuk Ewe, Dam it,” their wall said.
Wall held in such consistent meld.
 
Ewe followed his recommendations;
until the flaws were found in the foundation.
 
Now water leaking through; dam breaking;
Still standing still, unwavering.
Everyone has fled, still he stands to protect;
Arms wide, content, feeble like another’s intent.
 
More water as the levy irks, creeks, and groans,
Earth quakes to annoy circumstances now so fluid.  
He said, “I can only save you,” “Help me help you.”
With wall crumbling, his rope thrown out:
 
Slack; there is no one to pull back.
