The Atlantic ocean...,an unrelenting mistress

More'n ten thousand leagues under the sea

next to an octopus's garden in the shade.

OceanGate manufacturer

of the Titan Submersible,

which vessel that set out to reach

Titanic shipwreck with five passengers

officials believe the suffered

a “catastrophic implosion”

apt analogy to mein kampf.

Major tsuris, the loss of innocent lives

or being robbed blind

for seventeen thousand

five hundred buck a roos

alias Harvey Specter,

(a professional hacker and scammer

lurking in the deep dark Internet,

who turned hand over fist lucrative income

at my expense

courtesy cyber currency bitcoin)

bad karma will catch

the son of a bitch.

Though yours truly

feels thoroughly wretched

regarding forsaken finances,

yes when put in perspective

with the former

aforementioned horrendous catastrophe

(regarding irreparable loss of life),

I a fetchodit father figure

feels fraught with fractured psyche.

Wanton wickedness wrought

tears me lovely bones taut

remuneration desperately sought

dollars hacked with place value ought,

thus will to remain stayin' alive naught

wily weasel rendered remote control

with slickly polished shambolic

cock and bull story sinister caught

sense and sensibility of said scribe

twas worse fate than death,

I would rather my soul

to the devil bought.

Cyber sea awash with uproarious,

rapacious, opprobrious, laborious,

industrious, ferocious, carnivorous...

beasts cannibalistic traits yield

atrocious, deleterious, hellacious,

malicious, tenacious..., lawlessness

triumphantly imbuing reckless gullibility

unabashedly unleashing unprincipled

piranha - viciously chomping

on mine body eel 'lectric

paralyzing shell shock Atlas shrug

courtesy perpetrator did wield

truncated in God we trust trunkline

tragedy will land me in potter's field.

Unrepentant serpent did asphyxiate

I send an sos where Meg found -

mine devastated legal tender

(hint unscramble anagram

to proffer mine deliverance

regarding acceptable donations)

menacing alias Harvey Specter

stole my innocence and naïveté

hook, line and sinker

masterfully wormed his way

pounced with blackened barbs

fooling me to buzzfeed him bitcoins

both checking and savings account

depletion of funds and havoc did create

once solvent wordsmith now broke

a trainwrecker left no tracks

of stolen pilfered, looted, hocked...

precious freshly minted freight

unknown readers might hashtag me as ingrate.
