Rms Lusitania
Those illegal acts
are sort against each other
who was right brother
Carrying ammo
playing outside of the rules
the Brits more fool them
No flags were flying
her identity disguised
wise decision, not
She went down quickly
just eighteen minutes in all
as near 1,200 lives now gone
A ship downed so soon
did 173 tons of ammo and shells
aid the quick sinking
Still up for debate
here lies the anger and hate
and starts the blame game
Turner faced trial
for his part was soon absolved
But; with heavy heart
Admiralty lies
to collateral damage
as to aid the war
Was Schwieger’s wrong choice
just a catalyst of truth
to the lies beneath
