Breaker Morant

Harry "The Breaker" Harbord Morant (born Edwin Henry Murrant, 9 December 1864 – 27 February 1902), more popularly known as Breaker Morant, was an Anglo-Australian drover, horseman, bush poet, military officer, and a war criminal who was convicted and executed for murdering six prisoners-of-war (POWs) and three captured civilians in two separate incidents during the Second Anglo-Boer War.

T minus, twenty to launch
Test, test, test. Flight in progress
T minus nineteen
Check jet fumes exhausting my breath

I see waves covering sand
Waves crash, waves wave
I walk along the wrong shore
Time to fold, floating waits
I see the rocks covering waves

Time and I sit, my hands on the wheel, the rudder straight
Launch code given ignition

Check, everything check

Six or seven times a day I choke down your threats leaving me wasted, floating, alone
Scared at times this way I place my , bets leaving me floating away alone
Set a course straight for the rocks

Why do you want to hold me in imagined gravity?
I'm gone away, abused and discarded
Cry all you want, I'm never coming back, just simply driven away

What goes up shattered

Tracing star paths compass course corrected
Shove off, weigh anchor

I see the sand covered by waves
I've seen the water, waves washed
You'll miss me when the final rudder locked the wheel tied in place
I head the course straight for the rock

Gone away, abused, discarded
Cry all you want, I'm never coming back
This ship leaves, and I'm never coming back
