Rib of Steel

Broken ribs of steel
All that’s left on the keel
Stripped bare by ferocity of the sea
A mere shell of what used to be
Once a greyhound in grey
Battered by shells to its dismay
Into battle strong and gallantly they went
Anger on other battle cruisers to vent
Cornered so far from its liar

[Hata Bildir]
