A Pirate's Life
Born to be a Pirate, I was!
Born for adventure and peril!
A shrewd mind and a swift ship be my tools
As I make my fortune,
at the misfortune of others.
Hard and cruel, we may seem,
To those who don't understand.
But I don't aim my cannons simply to destroy.
I don't wield my sword simply to kill.
Yes, it's true we are a crude people.
Crude, but mighty proud to be!
And that's why we fight
For what we figure is worth fighting for!
We do what we love,
Because be love it.
Danger and thrills fill our bellies
Just as food does yours.
It isn't the gold or fame that we chase so,
That's not what we risk so much for.
A full Life is what we sail for,
What we fight for.
A full Life and nothing less!
A Life full of excitement and wonders!
A Life I was born to live.

Another extension
to your persona and
psyche.
analogous in nature
to your present avatar.
This poem reminded me of
Sir Michael Caine's line
from Nolan's 'The Dark
Knight.'
Enjoyed this trip.

p.s-'Yes, it's true we are
a crude people.'
The 'a' needs to be dropped.

As always your words evoke a most gracious smile! And actually, I rather like that line as it stands. Shows that we are all united as one in trials and hardships. But your advice is always taken to heart and throughly considered :)

If I may add, I too think this is refreshing analogy of self, also however Mr Wand6 you are incorrect and the Whiskey is blurring tho judgement still. The Pirate people are 'a people' the line does not refer to all people it refers to a people.
