Nightmare

"Nightmare"


Another nightmare
In the galaxy a tear
Matter devoured, not a single molecule spared
Toward such an event, could we prepare?

Many stare
Many compare
Everywhere
And anywhere

Everyone will experience their fair share of scares
Something that's been put into the air
Life can't always be fair
Of this, it'd do you well to be aware

I used to, but I'm finding it harder to care
Of such trivial affairs

Nearly everywhere
Many partake in prayer

Just about anywhere
Many went through despair
They either gave up or were able to bear

Some got the electric chair
Who knows, if it lead to a set of ascending or descending stairs

Brand new or in dire need of repairs
Far too many trinkets and wares
People going solo, in a group or pairs

On a planet full of mystery
Don't expect gifts for free
Got to work towards victory
And stay away from such misery
