the sinking of the blue ship



The leaks in the blue ship
The Captain sleeps it through
The sailors have parties
Ignoring the rising water

The sailors don't sound the alarm
They are drunk and soaked in rums
They think they are floating
Raising them upwards to heaven

The Captain smokes his cigars
Looking at the calm water
He doesn't realize the undercurrents
Sweeping swiftly for his fall

Every sailor is addicted
To the game of wealth and positions
They don't see the leaking holes
Creeping hungrily for their souls

By the time the water reaches its peak
The sailors start to ring the bell
Voices can be heard but no escape
The Captain realizes the sinking ship

The dinghy are lowered quickly
The sailors scrambled for safety
Only a few managed to sail away
Together with the Captain

The blue ship finally sinks
Taking with her some of her crew
The Captain turns away
Knowing he has lost his game
