In Love With Pirates

In love with Pirates When titanic sank, we were on the deck, The boat did rescue us afar, destiny had in store a new avatar, The ship we asked help for, lately been captured over, Pirates killed kids and men, sparing only few women, Ugly faces, red eyes and shabbily dressed, killer instincts, hatred be guessed, Tears down the cheeks, my heart bled, Days in captivation, breathing half fed, Agony put to end with new pirate friend, all different stories I could comprehend, The day captain said his sad tale, Catching up, I was no more frail, Months passed as I lost my cool, Tough ordeal, life dwindled in blood pool, Countless shots even with my gun, Pirate captain now is my only son !
