Re: Space Empires Haiku.
Apologies for the long post, but i felt like telling a story...
The C D ROM loads,
Game starts, the excitement mounts,
The empire is born
The galaxy calls,
Near and far the stars glitter,
The people answer
Great vessels are built,
Immense energies are tamed,
The void calls us on
New planets are found,
The empire expands anew,
Great cities are built
New cultures we meet,
All strange, weird or distinguished,
Some friends, some not so
Violent threats emerge,
Soon new techs are developed,
Strength for strength we fight
Many battles lost,
Courageously we struggle,
The people suffer
Planets burn for days,
Our cities lost to vengeance,
We vow to fight on
Our fleets pushed back now,
The homeworld laid bare to all,
To soon they will come
To the Last we stay,
Making them fight for each step,
Our numbers soon drop
In orbit they sit,
Belching gobs of sinful fire,
Erasing the past
Only memories,
Our people long forgotten,
Bones lying in the sun
