Galaxy Trotter Poems

We're coming for you
cause you can't escape
eyes of mordor up mt doom
You've been baptized Gliese 581 c

Oh that hazy horrible day
should've stowed my arms away
how would it have turned out
pain n stress from bout to bout

I tried and tried to live a life
Moments of joy and moments of strife
Is it out of reach, the train of goals?
They've crashed my dreams on this woeful night
...

Sat back, cooled down
Dozed off to sleep
Found my own way
Like droplets on iceberg tip
...

In the beginning, it was all I craved for
Two weeks into jail, gaunt GI from the war
Day in day out, lentil-and-bean fodder to chow
Nutrient depletion, like sagging body from tumor
