The Voyage

Pirates filled with desires,
And thieves filled with wants,
Sailed and swayed they crossed 
  the white lapping waves,
Sunken ships unfolded
  yet spirits unwaned.

In the depths of the sea 
  their anchor laid,
On the deck smoke wafts
  and great cannons ignite,
Nowhere but the unknown
  lies their fate.
