Tragic

The year was 2081,

And everybody was finally equal.

Nobody was better looking

Nobody was stronger or quicker.

But somethings about living still weren't quite right,

The H-G men took Harrison, away.

It was tragic.


White and trembling,

Tears stood on the rims.

Ballerinas had collapsed

Holding their temples.

Scrams and barking

Cries of consternation,

Dancing to the tune of an earthquake.

It was tragic.


Music began again

Much improved.

Explosion of joy and grace,

Into the air they sprang!

Carried a double-barreled ten-gauge shotgun.

Fired twice,

Dead before they hit the floor.

It was tragic.
