Analysis of DARK STAR
Dark star sends no warmth
Down to the chilled minions,
Of this frozen land.
Unearthly wailing
The dark star touches its prey;
Capturing their souls.
Dark star sears its prey
Charring them through to the soul,
Leaving them to die.
Once a source of heat
Providing power and light,
Now a lifeless ball.
Now its only use
Is to suck away the trash,
That once were live worlds.
Dark Star not shining
Like a good star surely would,
Only black above.
THE END
