Beneath The Sea Of Tranquility
Once seen only through dreams
A frigid desert
Covered in the dust of bones and space
Pulverized remnants of civilization
Atmosphere dead and long forgotten
An environment of peace and self-reflection
A mercurial presentation
Ulterior motives abound
On her surface we walk unfettered
Yet within her intrigue surrounds
Swirling, dry solar winds
Withered, blistered surface
Unassuming vantage point
Hiding in plain sight...
One illuminated hemisphere
And one in eternal night
Subterranean infrastructure
Military command
To observe not affect
Until invasion day is at hand
Awaiting orders with bated breath
Anxiously anticipating our impending death
Dizzying array of technology
Utilization of the past, future and present
Complete dedication and commitment
Without fear
Without judgement or bias
Just cold rationale blended with cruelty
Surveilled from space
Intentions unknown
Suspicious iniquity
Ever-present
Beneath the sea of tranquility
Days, Nights, Tides...
Omnipresent influence
Minds, Hearts, Lives
Innocence or malevolence
Buried deep inside
Beneath the sea of tranquility
Knowledge obtained is knowledge abused
