Trapped in a cave

A football group in Thailand of 12 boys and their coach,
Decided to go on an adventure and to a cave they approached.
Weather was good and they were excited about the day ahead,
Little did they know that they could be trapped inside for dead.

The arrival of monsoon was imminent around this time of the year,
When the group entered the cave, little did they have to fear.
It started pouring heavily once they had covered a significant distance inside,
Flooding of the cave started and there was no way back against the tide.

A search and rescue team was then set in place,
Domestic and international members then started their trace.
Entering the cave had become risky for this rescue team,
It was 10 days now and people feared the worst for this football team.

Finally, a team of rescuers found this entire group inside,
Resting on a huge rock starving and sitting side by side.
It helped that they were part of a football team,
Standing for each other is something they learnt it seemed.

Waiting with hope that someone will come and rescue them,
With the coach alongside them who prevented any possible mayhem.
The rescuers managed to deliver food, provide oxygen, and treat them for minor injuries,
However, with no way out still, there is still a long way to the end of their misery.

It’s already been a little more than 15 days now,
The rescue team is still evaluating, we should rescue them how.
Saying a silent prayer for their rescue is the least I can do,
I just hope that within the next couple of days there is a breakthrough.
