Cosmic Carol,
I've been on the Earth a while now,
a myriad of troubles and sorrows
People say there is no afterlife,
Churches are now cafes or boarded up
A ceaseless chain of disasters
Midnight skies and stargazing parties
Gemini and Aries,
Creatives, right?
The Great Bear, Ursa Major, is up there
Honestly, I hardly ever look up
Carol Cosmique,
you French speak like an existentialist,
you focus on the 'how' rather than the 'why'
The cosmos, the galaxies, a string of pearls
shimmering in the celestial canopy
Cosmic Carol, truly a child of the stars.
Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
