this is more related to the ocean than anything piratical but here goes, this one is something i wrote a few years ago.
The wind causes the dancing of flowers, the rhythm of waves
The wind causes the toughness of the storm
What causes the wind?
What causes the summer breeze that tosses my tresses
like the dark, curving currents of the ocean in the moonless night?
The tribulations of Mother Earth?
or the combined whines and pleas of the distressed human race
who despair at the closed, bigoted minds of our peers,
members of our tainted society.
Is every complaint a waste of breath?
Is every breath a waste of energy?
Or is it the cause of the wind that stirs us?
