Sea Wolves

Galleons, uncharted oceans, honest merchantmen take heed, hijacked by the vile and shameless, paradigms of pirate greed. Storied legends blaze through ages, rape and pillage mark the sway of buccaneers hell bent on mayhem, cannons blast in fierce array. Without compassion for a compass, murderously resolute, they take no prisoners, show no mercy, sack the sea lanes, dissolute!

What a great poem. I wrote one with the same title. Anyone who knows about scalawags knows what a great title that is. Well done Keith.

after seeing "capt. phillips" and reading many articles about piracy today, i got a small taste of how awful it must be to be involved in such a situation. you've described this very powerfully in your poem, keith...
