Pirates of the High Sea.....
Flying the flag of crossbone and skull
Templar fleets fled a coup d'etat bold
looked upon as pirates of the high sea
reduced to mere criminals from powers that be
Like the robin hoods of sherwood forest
they took down crowned vessels upon oceans currents
loyalty wasn't given to any crowned head
mankinds corruption is easily mislead
Bankrupt governments extravagant royals
fear was how they held populace loyal
times do change...as absolute power corrupts
without the proper methods in place to adjust
The pirates of old had their own sense of honor
the past is the past as we carefully ponder.......
