the ancient sailor
had a code of honour
a most dreadfull punishment
crimes committed against the crew...

there is not
a second chance

the judgement is quick
the sentence is clear

Keelhauling - tied on ropes
upside down - dropped into the sea
keelhauling - a traitor's treatment
code of respect - punishing death

for the amusement
of the crowd
the body scrapes
against the the ship...

the barnacles rips
the skin open

flesh is pulled
from the face

just before life
departs the body
refused the right
to die
keelhauling
