The Milky Way Galaxy

Mysterious, vast collection of stars Intriguing your curiosity, no more than a marvelous band of light Lighting up the inky sky of the night Killing smaller galaxies, colliding into them and tearing them apart Years grouped in billions go by as stars die and new ones are born Whizzing around it are the Large and Small Clouds of Magellan And it is huge, like a giant white whirlpool of light in the ocean of darkness Years, 3 billion before its dramatic end, colliding with the Andromeda galaxy
