Instead of being the salt
Which melts, sweetens and
Is easily forgotten,
I’d rather be the hot pepper
In the mouth of the ruthless,
Make sure he begs air to step into its filthy chambers
As I whip his inward skin without mercy
I know that will be a lesson
And will make him take caution
On some poor sailors
Other than killing away many
With his whips of insatiable desires
So all I say to you is
Be that whip on that bad ship and make him skip its painful whips
