The Good Faith

The Good Faith 
!t was a big ship fully automated, the engineers wore 
white overalls and the deck officers, splendid uniforms,
while the ship´s captain sat in his cabin and wrote 
leaned thing about navigation. the cook was an exception 
he still had to prepare food and worked long hours,
But it must be said he had shiny pots and pans the never burned,
So modernity benefitted him too.
The sip had no anchor it had been lost in a storm and now 
They had to do with virtual one few had much faith in, 
Circling the oceans endless not being able to find a tranquil bay
Cast anchor and rest. So it happened then the hip had a black out
had no anchor and drifted on to a reef, and there was no life boats
the captain said the sip wasn´t sinking his faith in automatic was 
like a religion for him, but the ship sank under the greedy ship, 
the crew had more faith in life-jacket and the shore line that looked
beautiful in the afternoon.
