I'm releasing this note to the ocean
secretly hoping it is never found
how would I sound if I admitted
how little faith I have in this mission?
The powers that be stuck me in this position
before I knew it I was on this ship and -
on my way to discover new trades
they tell me to gather gold and slaves
and hide my ambitions with talks of religion..
but their real god is war and the earth is a prison.
I have made my decision to take orders and listen,
survival is synonymous with submission.
I can only hope that one day I may be forgiven
fore, I did not volunteer for this mission!
