A pirate's life

A poem about the life of a pirate.

We sail and sail to the end of the world, 

We yearn for silver, gold and pearl. 

For They mark we thieves and slayers 

We shall sneak past their sovereign snares 

From the land of dead to the eastern bays

We fight our way through treacherous waves

For days, months and years it goes

Sea serpents, krakens and massive albatross

A pirate's life is not for simple folk

A bottle of rum and a piece of pork

We drink, we sing, we sleep with w****s

Nothing to worry face life as it goes

Mothers tell our tales to their small

Uncivilized, ruthless, a devil in soul

For greed they fight they lore for more

Who end up resting on the ocean floor.
