Star Trek: The Original Sonnets

- XXX -

The sun will be turned to darkness

and the moon will be red with blood

as man continues to transgress,

giving just cause for one last flood.

The oracles are red with dread

to see thee pulling at the thread

for the world is hollow and thy

unbidden words will burn the sky.

Cool thy burning cheeks with a year

of changing things for the better

and bringing life back together,

so every cheek will flush with cheer

to know that none laid down to die

while answering the battle cry.
