Ship of Fools - Image Born #10

sinking ship for Image born # 10

 

Ship of Fools

ship of fools , sail into the night

knowing no fear is your downfall

not feeling concern, is your saddend plight

no one to hear your cries or your calls

pleading for mercy, begging for life

the brashness has listed on side

sinking deeper, like the edge of a knife

your watery grave is where you'll hide

we think we're invincible, we know not of fear

presumptuious us challenging the rules

never learning, when the past has made it clear

forever we sink, oh sad ship of fools

I like the thought you got from the image.
The downfall of no fear is one so many have.
This is how the Titanic was viewed... nothing could go wrong.
It also applies to people today.
Very good poem for this image.

You have done well with this image...your title made me hear The Doors Song with the same title...I think I will play the song now since it won't stop playing in my head. Sometimes I think that all of humanity, or at least the "civilized" ones are all just a big "ship of fools".

Those ships of fools sometime don't want to be in the rat race. Better to chance the dangerous water then walk into the hands of death without a good fight. A excellent poem. I like the feel and the strong emotion in this powerful poem of fool's wishes.
