SS Nigeria by Mstings: 4:36pm On Feb 05, 2015
There it is and it was
In its wooden glory
There it is SS Nigeria
Look at the helm
Look st the main deck
Look at the wheel
Look at the captain's cabin
Look at the skylight
Look at the cannons, light and heavy

What has she not?
What be missing
Why be the same route we treading
Why isnt the captain calling
Why are the officers meddling
Why are they preventing the captain from thinking
Port some say
Starboard some another say
Indeed one be the way
Why is it the mind of the captain wont sway
Why is he stiff on the wheel
Where the the first mate
Where he be i cant locate
I see him with the captain
What he be whispering
Why the captain be smiling
Why i know the smile
It be the smile of greed
It has been smiled by captains past
Then our destiny has been cast
How long would we last
That smile be the smile of the ones before him
The future of this ship be dim

The skies are dark ahead
I hear it, the pit and patter of the rain on the deck
Stop rain the deck already be a wreck
It hath been holed it be rotting
It hath hurt the crew
The sick bay be ill
The hurt crew member it cannot heal
The i heard a scream
The all familiar name
Pirates
In their glory around
Bout abound
To your stations go laddies
Nay not one moved
The gun powder be wet, they said
The guns be rusty they said
Cannons be rusty they said
Then i said we be dead.
Our faces in fear it white
In our gloom the captians face be light
Drop the sail he ordered
I was aghast
For the ship he didnt care
His way of leadership rare
No it be common to the black seas
The captain be focused on island before him
I be focused on the maelstrom before him

All hope lost at the what cost
at the cost of a familiar chink
In despair i resign
In the middle the end i ask
What will kill us first
They responded that be an easy task
For neither the pirates nor the maelstrom
But our own inaction and the captains greed in action
We have died and we are going to die
Good bye sinking ship nigeria
