Space Pirates
On an ocean of stars
the ship sailed away.
The flag waved HUMANITY
but metal steered their course.

I find that this ends quite brutally. Was it on purpose?
I intended it to be longer at first, but in the end I preferred it to be more compact for power – so in a sense it was my intention – yes 😀
end put intense and power to the entire piece, image is superbly fit to the poem, just love it….
I actually struggled with the last line. I’m glad you like it 😀
