Orbis

It's been a fair while since,
The day my companions and I,
Crashed on this strange land.

Trouble is,
Being stranded on a world.
With two beautiful girls,
Should be everything I wish.

Problem was,
I decided one night,
To investigate the crash site.
Within the farrow,
We left on this land.

The deep swathe,
Cut by our ship as it crashed.
Hid more than a scorched earth,
There was a hatch.

Of all planets that I found,
All that held life were round.
So Orbis abundant with life,
With a cone shape didn't feel right.

Do I spoil there dreams,
Should I tell the girls
That the planets surface,
Is not what it seems.

This man made planets seeded,
When they come back.
Will our incursion be treated
as a sin: Or are they still here,
Living within. This hollow planet.
