You threw a blow to her head
And through that to our hearts
Now, you try to steal her strength and quality of life
You slow down her thoughts and confuse her speech
You loosen her grip to knock her confidence
You weaken her knees to make her submit to your power
You mercilessly put her in bed lying motionless
Awaiting your command
Wait a moment, you merciful fate
I see the bright side of your golden coin
You leave a big hole for her to mend
You keep her connected with the real world
You raise an army of professionals to a battle array
You put us on post to provide supplies to the crossfire warfare
Fight in the dark alley
Upon your strategy
At this moment, you funny fate
The joke you play on us
Is a lecture about outer space
About how the spiraling galaxies rotate and spin around
A central axis: Life
And about how the stars grow old
