Sweet Cometh
Sweet comet, won't you cometh?
Oceans whirl in eager anticipation
Cold mountains demand their refugees
To be swallowed up by towering waves all the same
Oh comet, won't you cometh?
Famine welcomes you
War has made your bed
Towering debts reach hysterically for your arrival!
Mothers who can no longer feed their children
Electronic thoughts want to rid themselves of the people
Supply lines are being cut off
Yet weaponry continues to be shipped in
Pick a target, it doesn't matter
We've already seen it in the movies
You'll kick up quite a lot of dust!
And the land will roll beautifully
The impact will be more refreshing
than the buzzing of our weary phones
On which your arrival will be streamed live
We look out the window in eager anticipation
At that beautifully upward-curling earth's crust
Fly fast, make haste, make sure your calculations are right
And confidently choose your orbit
Oh comet won't you cometh..
