"I am the very loneliest of all creatures in the universe | |
Indeed I am an epitaph to man | |
For having witnessed mass destruction like you've never dreamed and worse | |
I fear I shall bear witness once again." | |
So said the lighthouse keeper | |
As he struggled up the spiral stairs | |
Which led him to the laser flare which spanned the cosmic void | |
Where keeping constant vigil | |
He'd forewarn this gallant guard of guards | |
Beware all ships the space graveyard and its stones of asteroids | |
"For though my race was thought immune | |
Themselves they did consume | |
So be warned or be mourned tomorrow | |
And from your deafness do desist | |
And pray take heed of this | |
For your present course can only end in sorrow..." | |
So said the lighthouse keeper | |
As he wiped a teardrop from his nose | |
Upon which his spectacles rose and gazed out to the stars | |
And like a portrait still he stared | |
And sighing to himself declared | |
"I must invent the perfect prayer | |
Not yours, not mine, but ours | |
Which in the name of charity | |
Might lead us to eternal peace | |
The ultimate philosophy | |
Some simple, single phrase." The old and much encumbered man | |
Then came to rest with head in hand | |
He thought | |
and thought | |
and thought away | |
His last remaining day. | |
Epilogue | |
When to his end the old man came | |
Death told him "You'll not die in vain" | |
And on his lips the fatal kiss was placed | |
But from within his falling chest | |
The old man uttered one last breath | |
And had we heard his parting word | |
We'd know that he had said... |
