Grief of a father

It was terrible
But few became great
It was horrible
But for few it was just trade

They proved their might
They proved their kingdom
But in that
many lost their sight
many lost their freedom

Because of few
From the crew
Because of few
From the crew
The ship sank

Because of those who lost
their minds
They killed the most
of their own kind

we were punished
by those
who have one head
and one nose

Pardon! Pardon! we cried
but to save our life
nobody tried

who was to win
won the race
who was to win
won the race
but this was not necessary
everybody said this phrase
