A Travel in Time by a Pirate's Rhyme
Life of a Pirate
My name, to be that of the pirate, Captain Jack,
and I, the time traveler, so named, dressed in black,
I've sailed the Seven Seas, without a single care,
my fondest desires and dreams, all to be so fair.
I've plundered and pillaged, to have taken as mine,
where ere, I have wished, and I may have gone,
The widest salty oceans, so fathomless, so deep,
to be my place, of rest, where I've called my home.
In those olden days, so golden, of all ancient lore,
on every nearby beach, where I did explore and find,
Traveling from the far East and stretching to the West,
my deceit was the very best, in all pirating, of its kind.
The lawless taking and the heartbreaking, of my past,
all to be wrongful acts, to be as dice, that I have cast,
Without any conscience, to these, I truly must confess,
to be as a blessing, and forever more, this is to last.
In my progression, discovering a new destination,
the most modern of all, in a city's fine streets,
Taking riches of wealth, by my own good stealth,
and my being deceitful, and so very discreet.
Dealing in hard core ills, to escape a hangman's chill,
to bide my time, and to profit in days, that I've spent,
To buy and sell my wares, justifying a timeless event,
as without any care. and in my evil acts, not to repent,
Now a new role, I make, and in never, my oath to break,
my old ways, not to forsake, in the road that I must take,
As a marketer, my newest source, is my greatest recourse,
What I coerce, and the rest, acquire buy powers of force.
I still plunder, and do steal, funds of the investment field,
as my self-serving motives, each, are so well concealed.
A fortune in stocks, so much great profit, to be realized,
until the most tragic of times, that of my own late demise,
So there's nothing ever new, governing what I just may do,
as a pirate, and to be sure, this is my best, in caricature.
As a timeless traveler, from days gone by, a story of mine,
in the warmest of sunshine, admittedly, my own, not as pure.
