Interstellar Journey
The darkened ship voyaged on
For 50 years alone voyaging along
The ship looked after itself on this journey
While its cargo of passengers were sleeping care-free
For the earth was long behind them
As they left the Solar System’s end
The first interstellar travellers they travelled onwards
Relying on the ship to find a new home with its own rewards
So into uncharted regions they flew
The stars and planets the only background too
Then during this endless night
Another spaceship encountered them in a routine flight
The aliens on this craft took them into their ship
Then to their world to decide what to do with it
As it was the first time they were seen
These earth man who slept in their silver ship that gleaned
And so the decision was made
By the supreme one who had said
These beings aren’t a part of us
So they were killed without a fuss.
