Islands in a Sea of Stars

I fear that we shall never see,

A planet's sky, or grass and tree.

To only breathe recycled air,

To have no hope, live in despair.

…

Rock and metal, sea of stars.

Drej and time we can't outlast.

Muscles fall to atrophy,

Through living in low gravity.

…

Gangly forms and thinning limbs,

Sunken eyes and pale skin.

Cut off from sun, left in the night,

Our ships the only source of light.

…

We do not have future to see.

No land of opportunity.

Just in the now, past burned in fire.

Lying low, avoiding ire.

…

And so the galaxy, it slowly turns.

Its many stars, they slowly burn.

Planets spin, comets collide,

And of a home, we are deprived.

…

I fear that we shall never see,

We'll be blind for eternity.

Left in the dark, cut off from light.

We lost our world, we lost the fight.
