To believe or not to

To believe a little but not much

Tried this path before

To seas untouched

-

Bothered by grace

Of the heavens above

Deceived before

Learned the lot

-

Is your heart true

This time around?

It was not at all, before

Or is it still too hard?

-

I was hurt before

An issue of mistrust

A good advice

Of wordplay you moved around

-

The seas are moving

An appalling sight

A large fish! A large fish

Under the ship and around

-

Is this my chance

To catch a big catch

And feed the innocent

Of your distasteful lust

-

''Bring out the harpoons!”

“Bring out the larger ones!”

“The same items she bore

Are the same things we have “

-

“Man the sails! Every man on deck!

See her rise and fall

Hurling the salt and the air,

Ranting out there!”

-

 “Take heed men!

This be our chance!

Fish are caught through nets

Hook her and watch”

-

''Should we shoot now, sir'

Now while her wounds are fresh?''

Harpoons are with rope

Awaiting eyes and ears to detest

-

“Be still men, all is about timing!”

“Check to see if her wounds are deep”

Enough to kill as we hurled her

So we can finally have her meat!”

-

''She is but weak, sir!

No contest to the deep!''

“Men, we may be strong,

But her size may be as big as her id! “

-

  “Ay-ay Capt’n! We’ll check and see”

“The ship can take her, we believe!”

Just then she rose, as big as her eyes could be

Looked at us and tried swimming away to sea

-

  “Follow her, men.

Don’t let her get away!”

“Her crimes should not to be forgiven

Your captain should not sleep tonight in dismay!”

-

  “Fasten yourself to the ship

Come at her and take your prize

Don’t let her go too deep

The harpoons may reach the heap

-

  And then the whale came up

Seeking no wisdom from the wise

Gave the ship a large wave

 But failure moreover struck her pride

-

  She’s ought to say, “I got more”

The men then say, “Do try”

“We are fastened and ready

To walk the plank and die!"

-

  “Be strong, men,

Victory will come”

“These wall of seas and salt

Will ne’er take us apart!”

-

  She hurled and cried

Short of a forever rant

“Come hear, filthy fish!”

The old captain replied.

-

  Harpoons would not kill her

Not without the unison of the lot

She will not fall

Without our strengths combined

-

  “Shoot now, men!”

“Shoot with everything we got!”

The whale cried bellowingly loud

In reply to the captain’s echoing shout!

-

   “Shoot her with the harpoons!”

Man the cannons and continue

Until not a single knife is left out

And the sea turned into a reddish hue

-

  The men in unison hurled and shot

Till the deck was only smoke and ash

“Ay-ay Capt’n there would be no stopping

Until she falls, this day will not pass.”

We are whalers!

Realizing your lies and deceit will come soon.
