The Four Winds
Beyond our Earth in cabalistic space
A vacuous void a cold dead place
A colossal craft ploughed wearily on
In which thoughts of home had dwindled gone
For inside the ship in a somnolent state
Were a crew who did not know their fate
For what lurked beyond was an injurious beast
As where it had lived all other life had ceased
So now it waited deep inhume
As its malevolent eyes watched the spaceship loom
Entombed within a prison ship
An infinite journey a fruitless trip
For the alien’s cruelty to its own kind
Inside this floating cage confined
The hideous misfit waited within
As it had cruelly immolated its own kin
The alien made an abattoir of its own world
Destruction and death from its claws unfurled
Whilst outside the ship the four winds blew
While deep inside the brutes hunger grew
The Earth ship Explorer made a direction change
Bringing the prison ship into her range
She trundled forward to intercept
And to unleash the secret it had kept…
