Blue Sun Poem by Neil Crawford

For the people who stay on the pioneer planet,
entire life times will pass in one day.


No rescue, no heartbreak, no nothin'


Stifling in the rays from a blue sun,
tossed on the waves of an orange ocean.


No rescue, no heartbreak, no nothin'


At their 'Forum for the Missing',
they conspire, they cajole, they cavort.


No rescue, no heartbreak, no nothin'


Burnt by their azure Sol, they whisper
to their children of distant, dying homeworlds.


No rescue, no heartbreak, no nothin'
