Analysis of Master & Commander



Thirsty vision,
a heart seeking precision.

Motorized celebrations,
barrowing quotes from
past historian delegations.

Bending over the bow,
reminiscing with the dolphins free call.

Political uneveness reveling
in the moments of stallworth benevelonce.

Capturing red sun sets,
dancing through the ocean's faith
A commander will pay his debt,
and write his part as "Commander Saithe"
