This is a warning. A tale. A rant. Whatever.
The Sea at times may be cruel but that's because us and nature are cruel to it
It's depressing, which is why I express this discussion in the most depressing form of media:poetry.
The Sea of Thieves is full of life
But the sea is also full of strife
*I went here for excitement and adventure *
But the amount of cruelty is much more than a mere misadventure
These tales and stories are depressing
But the tales of the lives in the sea need adressing
First off the megaladons, attacking you with it's teeth,
But as mean as they seem, there is much more going on beneath
For while we've all killed a couple of these big teethed beasts
There are "hunters" who like to feast
Shooting all megaladons down, they are less brain, more brawn,
cause they're wondering why no megaladons spawn!
You shot them all down!
Stop looking at me with that angry frown!
They're leaving, dying disappearing,
Their blood, over your face, you're smearing,
Some of them were friendly, but you killed them anyway, for money and for fame
Megaladon hunters, for shame!
That isn't even the worst, for at least the megaladons get the escape of death.
One creature is being tortured, with their every breath.
The kraken, singular, blind and cannot see,
roams the sea and "attacks" you and me.
You may think "oh no they want to eat!"
But what if they just want a friend to feel complete?
It gets lonely when you're a many tentacle creature.
No one enjoys your finest features
Not only that, it's blind, cut it some slack!
Maybe it thought some predator is attacking and that why it decided to attack.
Whatever the reason, it's still alive but probably in pain.
And it never changes, it's in pain, again and again.
A tale more heard,
A tale more transferred,
A plague that lurks
Turning sirens into jerks
Gone was their song
and now, with their fellow mermaids, they can't get along.
Filled with hate,
More monsters, they began to create.
Lured people in and they were taken,
New things, the plague mermaids were making
We all know who they are,
I don't need to say their name, their tales go far.
But what about the ones lured?
What have they endured?
Well, once human, now turned,
What it feels to be on the other side of a blade, they have learned.
They once had hopes and dreams like us, but now we just kill.
Whether this is right or not, we do not think and mill.
These monsters of different types, can they be reversed out of this state?
Or is it just their fate?
Worse still, those aren't the only ones impacted by a curse
The sadness gets worse
Skeletons. The most common thing we fight.
Even they go through their own plight.
Most don't remember much or even anything at all.
And to a single bullet, most will fall.
Do they ever come back?
The answers...I lack.
But one thing for sure, they once were human,
Once again killed by a crewman.
And that ain't even the last of those who got cursed,
for more death and despair, it is need to fulfill the seas thirst.
Phantoms, those who escaped the land of dead and now are among the living,
a land most unforgiving.
Most working for the flame.
The fate awaiting them, the same.
More attacking, trying.
More hurting, dying.
Why is all the cursed ones aggressive?
Especially since most, with their attacking is excessive.
Some cursed ones are passive,
But the amount of despair, is massive.
Is all this really the fault of the sea?
No, it's the fault of the inhabitants, that's what it be.
For pirates suck as much as this rhyme,
it's no surprise that our very existence is a crime.
But not only do we have many slain,
we still somehow complain.
"Ohh, they're too easy to kill! Not enough spawn, and not enough loot!"
Why, oh why, do we still dispute?
The pirates life is cruel.
Sometime I think I'm a fool,
For going into the shroud,
cause now I'm trapped in this life by a cloud.
But then I realise all I need is a grog,
and the righteous part of my mind turns to fog.
Then I stumble out into the fresh sea breeze.
And forget about the fact I'm a pain, I'm a disease.
So moral of the story:people bad.
Not that big of a statement.
Anyone gonna try and disagree? Or do we all recognise we suck?
