The Andromeda-Milky way collision or rather invasion by the "bigger brother" may prove to be a long wait but nonetheless worth the while...
IF ever I had a country : XLVI - XLVII
XLVI
IF ever I had in Andromeda a country
And if ever by rights I were the Chief Collision-Conglomerate Six-Star Plenipotentiary
I'd moot and execute a permanent plan for the establishment of a concentration camp penitentiary
For all the Milky Way terrestrial chieftain priests and leaders of the twenty-twenty-first century
During the aeons-long Andromeda Purification-Invasion of our choked and soured Milky Way of uniting humanity
And set up the Sixty-Four Wise Yijing Learned Men and Women Councils to rule each and every confounded in-human country
That is, if ever by rights I were the Chief Collision-Conglomerate Six-Star Plenipotentiary
And even if I never ever had in Andromeda no blasted country
XLVII
IF ever I had in Andromeda a country
And if ever by rights I were the Six-Star Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief of the Milky Way invasion
I'd warn all Inter-Stellar Fleet admirals and generals to guard against sharp human practices ruses and gifts of pretension
Marked by the human mania for masking their faces crown of heads bellies but not bums and their servile submission
To lying cheating imitating stealing back-biting fornicating bum-licking maiming killing and splitting the Almighty for selfish possession
All for the sake of amassing more money more pleasure more fame more pride more hatred more envy more of everything as their only ethnic life-mission
That is, if ever by rights I were the Six-Star Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief of the Milky Way invasion
And even if I never ever had in Andromeda no green patch or parcel of a country
Bonjour Ron ! I'm wholly surprised - after your last comment on my satirical approach in the "If ever I had a country..." sequence - that you come on about the reality of the Andromeda-Milky Way collision (or, if you will, merger), confusing as it were Astro-Physics with Literary fiction. Just to say, it would be like contending the raison d'ętre of Gullivers Travels in literary studies on the assumption that horses cannot think or reason, or on disputing the existence of Lilliputians. Literary forms are made up of schemes and tropes and genres and a whole lot of other features; that's what makes writing such a difficult chore. No offense meant. I thank you all the same for your comment (even when repeated) and hope to see you visit my pages with the same gusto as you have kindly done so far. Every good wish.
Andromeda is a long way in coming. Your poetry speaks of narrowminded earthly human traits that don't even apply to the solar system, let alone, the Milky Way.
Forty years ago astronomers believed that when two galaxies would collide, the stars in each would be so far apart that there would be virtually no disruption in our little lonely solar system. But, the discovery of black holes, and the mass of dark matter, along with actual evidence of real galaxies colliding taken from Hubble, the violent destruction would be to stars and planets would be hurled either into their sun or other suns. Human thought about the matter would be moot. Poetry would not survive or any life form at all.
