the sailing boat

From the sea to the land
The sailing boat got her load
She made it on her voyages
Decades negotiating with the Colonialists
Finally she made it home..........

Now anchor at port
Years under the sea
The toll took her in
She was retired
Without a proper goodbye

The balancing symbol
On the land takes it over
Of the past of the sailing boat
The ship officers and crew
They forget about her

Now decades on land
The sea whence they came
Assimiliation to make it big
On the years they thought they did

Legally through set up companies
Cronies and hangers-on reign
Commissions paid through work done
No law will be able to touch

The good life coming to end
The sailing boat finally seeks her revenge
You don't give me a proper goodbye
Now you suffer the sea sickness and waves
Bringing you to small parts until you float away

The silly statements
From the educated politicians
How low they want to sink?
The sailing boat twists them dizzy
