We prevent a nightmare’s birth

And go on to slay the ASTROTERF

We harvest its wraith

And construct utopia in space

An orbital paradise

A refuge’s been missing all our lives

The Red Star against a black sky

Rising when oceans run dry

Cylindrical; centrifugal force

Efficient allocation of resource

Leftist populations and diverse gene pools

Cremated conservatives as rocket fuel

Only democracy amongst the stars

Signs of capitalism erased after nuclear war

Endless cycles through the dark

Looking down upon scorched ground

The memory of the warmth of the Sun

but a distant glint of our past

The Red Star

This Earth will live

but will we persist?

The red star rises now

When oceans run dry
