When the sun meets the sea

I haven't thought about the fellow water waves

Flowing on a distant land in every step

The white foam, the blue face

Wipes away the sin of every ship

The pirates resting on wooden planks

Drinking *** and fish

Neither do they think of rusty slaves

Wearing torn and ***** rags

An also wearing sweat with every work

That they do not do on their wish

'land ahoy'! is all they say

And do not scold themselves for mistake

Yet keeps and eye on every slave.....

Even if they drop and apple

Or rumble a word in the food table

The pirates hold them for slay

And on and on sparkling knives

Cuts through rough skin

Being blood in disguise

Flows from wooden planks to the sea.....

And yet the sun has been a sign of hope

For, every traveller had to cope

To meet the land of treasures

Sun defines brightest light

Every happy kid flies a kite

And smile shows instead of fight

It has been known forever

Yet why is it that during sunrise and sunset

I see darkness brushing the trees

For injustice meet meets happiness

Where death meets hope in horizon

Is only when the sun meets the sea
