Sorrow the pirate369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS8ZfL6plN

Twas about to walk,

The mighty wooden plank

With shackled wrists369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E3PLt18Ae

And legs the same,

To ensure that Sorrow sank

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcAQkXiBlE

The journey short

Though long in stride,

Consumed the light of day

As step by step

His feet did walk,

To death, Sorrow made way

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQAGxokgaR

"Ah, faster now

You swine of man,

You see away the sun."

"For when it goes,

Then so shall you.

Your life, this day, be done."

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4yQubuhG0

Then Sorrow turned,

To face the man

Belching out words aloud

Then veered his eyes

Up to the sky

And let silence weigh the crowd

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO3xxfOfPF

The clouds did part

And shown the sun

The heat did sweat his brow

Then cool breeze blew

Against his skin

And whistled through the prow

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5gzkbq8aG

A moments rest

Relaxing breath

Time seemed to disappear

With enemies

Sentencing death

His ship, they commandeer

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCzfy2xJ7x

Then memories

From all his life

Did flash before his eyes

Remembering

Both good and bad

The crowd spoke out, chastised

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM8BnB6GYO

"Speak now yar words

Soon lifeless one,

Plead mighty, to the gods."

Sorrow stayed still

His mouth not move,

He stand weighing the odds

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkPElEKkZp

The sun still crept

To hiding place,

Devoured by the ocean

"Lets shoot him first

Help weigh him down!"

One man started, commotion

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5s3kAlK4j

A settled cheer

All with, agreed

Bullet, to be embed

Muskets loaded

Then aimed up north

Explosions marked for head

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt9fUM2aRR

The powder packed

And fuses lit

Sorrow, a choice, must make

Death by the sea

Or from the gun

Which would a hero take

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBoNXLqpUA

His chains were tight

To strong to free

If jump, he'd surely drown

While bullets burn

Destroy the flesh

A corpse, not fit a crown

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7ex5kwAHH

The sun slipped down

Then came a shot

Bullet escaping gun

And Sorrow dove

Into the sea

Action, not be undone

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ991tGxNcl0

Unknown whether

The bullet struck

Sorrow still lost his life

And left behind

A story sung

In duet, with the fife

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cuafVXrTO

Though stories told

To entertain

Are far misunderstood

For Sorrow found

Treasure so great

No pirate ever would

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOdU8b5PB0

On life, he held

So desperately

Until sea bottom reached

His eyes witnessed

A marveled site

Such hoard, never was preached

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1XSGrFa0f

And so it's said

Throughout the world

In pirates' tales of old

Find Sorrow bound

And set him free

Then you shall find the gold369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFzySJRr5T
