The Sea

I never saw the sea

as a friend in chivalry

Or a dreamy place to be

Or a place to visit free

-

The ocean is, to me

The one true tyranny

For the land bows to our might

But the ocean's not our right

-

The sea is vast and fast and wide

And not a thing to be denied

It cares not for the lives of men

We treat it as an eggless hen

-

But one day the swells will rise

And men will reach a grim demise

For daring to think they restrained

That which will rise and kill and maim
