A Sonnet of the Ship of the Damned
Black water swirled around
Black oars splash in the sea
Can't try to run; all will be found
On a big dark ship is me
Ship of the damned crosses the Styx
Charon smiles under his hood
He knows we can perform no tricks
In our lives we were not good
Our big, black barge comes to Hades soil
We know we are bound for Tartarus
In the fields of punnishment, we will toil
No hope of Lethe or rebirth for us
Past poplar trees, we find our new home
Our dear pit will make sure we cannot rome
