The Next Generation
That was the final phase,
Captain Jean Luke Picard
stopped the ship
and exited
against his crew’s orders
against his better judgement
against all odds
and he exited
The men from the space mine
were running away from the unknown disaster
just down the tunnel
and towards the safety of the ship
But Captain Jean Luke Picard
Continued until he protected his eyes
With his hand
Against the bright spinning light.
