Alright, so this is a poem I wrote years ago that I recently found. Was super excited to find it as I thought I'd lost it forever. It wasn't quite as good as I remembered it being. Did a bit of editing to it, but still not all that thrilled with it. Still, figured I throw it up anyway. Enjoy, or don't, your choice.


Big Brother in the Sky
by Corlock Striker

Big Brother in the sky
Flying high, flying fast
Always striving, reaching, climbing
Ever higher, ever faster.
Rolling, spinning, twirling
Locked in a deadly dance.
Your favorite game.

With your feet
Firmly on the ground
You sought the next big thrill.
Seeking out your feelings in the sky
Where you truly felt alive.
Life just fun and games
You the master of them all.

Then one day
Your favorite game,
Was cut short.
You, who always won,
Had finally lost.

The pineapple salad
Lovingly crafted, just for you,
We've left it out
But it's grown cold.
We never got to say goodbye.
Big Brother in the Sky,
I never got to say goodbye.

Always striving, reaching, climbing
Ever higher, ever faster
I know where you've gone
But I can't follow anymore.
Now your favorite game
Will never end.

It's time to say
Goodbye
Big Brother in the Sky,
Goodbye.
