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
