Frederick And Geraldine (Part 20) Poem by Marieta Maglas

Frederick And Geraldine (Part 20)



The pirates opened the door and when they entered the gun room,
They saw that their employer was dead; some feelings of joy surged through
Those pirates when they saw the guns. ''His death, how could he presume? ''
They took the pistols while saying, ''Let's go to what we have to do! ''



Their chief had dark blue eyes and a grotesque smile; he touched the walls,
''There is an entrance through this wall leading to the cargo.''
Each one came out and hunkered like any scorpion that sprawls.
They heard the sailors talking about someone called Fargo.




They were working hard to extinguish the fire, so desperate
They were that they could do anything; the pirates' chief
Stood in waiting for his comrades; he used a temperate
Language, ''look, they're coming with the boat; it's my fixed belief



That a strong thought is needed before plunging into the fight
With a force which always makes everything be worse; the pirates coming
With a boat looked like peasants; they asked to embark in spite
Of the situation that they were not in a port and while thinking




To go to Syracuse; Miguel stood stock-still while he thought
Of what all these meant, ''they are not what they seem to be, '
Said Pedro. ''Maybe they are, '' replied Miguel. ''We are caught
Up into something.'' ''We need help anyway, '' ''It's strange for me.''



''What's your name? '' Pedro asked one of them when they embarked.
''I'm Zackery, '' answered that man. ''What an unusual name! ''
They walked along the deck and climbed the stairs to meet the captain.
''Where's our chief? '' Asked someone while helping extinguish the last flame.




''Here I am, '' said someone having a ring with a boom skull.
His guns were aimed at the crew and at the passengers.
''Let's start, '' he said while contemplating the flight of a seagull.
''Don't talk each other, because we can kill all the messengers.




The pirates started a dangerous assault with their guns
While hitting and slapping the victims; ''wake up, captain, I came
Here while bearing glad tidings- now, God takes to High His beloved ones.''
Freddy replied, ''In the end, I'll be the winner because your fight is in vain.''




Some pirates were gazing at the shrinking victims while
Genuflecting them and stabbing the air; they immobilized
Them while holding their heads between their arms and chests in a grand style.
Others wrapped each victim's hair around the neck, '' mobilized




Is now my army for the war of the life, '' said their chief
While ordering some of them to keep the victims under
Surveillance, '' he continued, ''let them share some thoughts of grief.
Where's he? '' ''He's in the gun room -not breathing; he had fallen asunder.''



Nobody was paying much attention to the details,
But Ibrahim was looking at them from a safe corner.
''We're heavy drinkers; let's find some wine until our scam fails.''
''Do you mean our chief knows? '' ''He dealt with his devil, the warner.''



''One of them killed our employer; we must kill them all, '' said another one.
A silence fell between the captains as they started to stare
Openly into each other's eyes. 'Where are the women? ''
''I don't know, '' said Freddy. ''Let's search the shore, they can be there.''
