Battle Room

Itsy bitsy spacemen,

All standing at the door.

Looking out into the void,

At a sphere with glass for floor.

…

One of them, he ventures out,

And off wall he rebounds.

Sailing through the empty void,

And so he looks around.

…

Below him is the Earth so blue,

While all else is dark of space.

Within the room are battle stars,

Upon one he holds in place.

…

Others now have followed through,

They play in zero-g.

Laughter, shouts, echoes abound,

But bereft of majesty.

…

But he himself remains in check,

From levity refrains.

For this is just a small first part,

Of an everlasting game.
