The red ship
Appeared on the horizon…
Like the morning sun sneaking out
It came out, big and stout..
It steered its way through.
Leaving a trail
Its body and crew
Hearty, hosting the sail…
Without them,the ship wont move
They had a merry time
With wine and song
But it was to be there
For not so long…
after twenty days and a night less
Another ship, it came upon
Its captain, gods must bless…
For he was too good to be true,
So well, the captains got along
For their hearts were pure
And minds alike
Comrades they became
Everyone they would allure
But one morning, the redmen said,
O captain, you are good
And we love you
But those shipmen are too nice to be true
We have our reasons and we tell you this
War with them and sail away
Or we will leave this ship as it is…
The captain had nowhere to go,
The only door open was by the people
He could not lay low…
With a heavy heart,
He listened word by word
Cut every thread
With the edge of his sword…
Unable to face his comrade,
He turned his ship
Unable to face the betrayed
S tear did drip…
Their own ways, they carried on…
Not even able to explain intent
The red captain carried
The burden all along…
Swore not to befriend a captain
Whatever may go wrong …
The other captain, confused, hating
Loathing, became indifferent
Maybe if told, he may understand
Maybe not
The red ship disappeared with the burden
Like dust in the sand.
