Welcome to the Mission

by Nick Gisburne



Welcome to the mission, to the team
No one must discover where we are
Data says conditions are extreme
Certainly the scariest so far
Dropping out of interstellar space
Feel the danger energise your skin
There it is, the military base
Activate your guns - we’re going in
Later, as we celebrate success
Orders from the Empire’s evil Queen:
“Get in here and clean this effing mess!”
Aliens are shockingly obscene
    When you raid the kitchen with your dad
    Always know your mother will be mad
