ThE PIRATE in ME

vowed to the sea for a noble cause..

in search of knowledge and understanding.. 

i began my course.... for greater good...

A tornado amid ship made me pull off course..

blindly i steered to wriggle free..

to end up in a bay with no degree..

destitution was what i had to see..

days and days i spent a different sort of spree..

time did change .. my dream and so my cause..

i had to make amends for loss i had..

changed my will and changed my mind,

seeking a different treasure.. a real one this time..

sailed the seven seas in search of gold..

i looted and i killed for no real cause..

blinded i had become by the light from the gold,

more and more i wanted till there was no more..

greed was my pleasure no longer my quality..

the day did come .. i had to be on my knees.

another took my place as pirate supreme..

as my whole life flashed before my eyes,

i had no one else to blame.. but just me...
