Unexplored

A joke upon a string of fairy lights
Strung up like a galaxy of stars
With truth disguised to appeal to all our frights
To scratch away at all our hardwired scars

And assuming gas giant proportions up on high
Then sucked with black hole speed into their world
Until we see their imagination in the sky
Raining down upon us; Death unfurled

If only there was science; Not so much fiction
We could navigate without our bullshit beams
Meet the knowledge void with true conviction
That everything we know is what it seems

Where else but the unexplored will danger loom?
And the asteroid will always spell our doom.
