Star Wars Lullaby

Star Wars Lullaby Sing to the skies a Star Wars lullaby Stay clear of the pentagram and other unkind signs That sway out there on waves of outer space Fly to foreign planets, riding like a rhymer Alive! Sailing on a solar wind in peace through time Take guitar in hand, euphoric in the moment With the other hand hold laser gun with beams of light To fight the Imperial forces gathering What will it be? A rhymer knows just what to do and think Should you shoot them? Maybe wave a torch or magic wand Strum them to death with music? Lull them off to sleep with artistry and good looks? A geek stumbles on the scene, thick black rimmed glasses on Falls on cosmic tapestries to entice the enemy He offers alternate solutions for the unwanted company Extends his half eaten sandwich made of tuna To the evil forces who reject his fishy lunch And Darth Vader wants a ham…of course Geeks read Tolkien to improve their minds And prefer that to the dark side of the force It would be an optical illusion to think otherwise With or without geek glasses Escaping on a wave of music at the speed of light Is the clear choice to avoid a fight The void is there, like a brother, to fill in noise and needs Put out the torch and let the babies sleep Rock the evil empire to its knees with lullabies and bombs Set them on rockets to the deep beyond Send them to oblivion with a song Created on 11/14/14 for Cyndi MacMillan’s “A WORD COLLAGE FOR CHAN HURST” Poetry Contest Words used in poem: Euphoric, Star Wars, Tolkien, Guitar, Pentagram, Optical, Artistry, Brother, Geek, Torch, Alive, Rhymer
