What Has Happened Here?
From The Night of Two Moons,
a play performed on EquestriaMUCK on August 20th-21st, 2012.
STASIMON LEADER: What has happened here?
On a lark, on a night, we of millions were awake
In the dark, out of spite, out of brilliance and its sake.
Feel our bark! Feel our bite! Feel our anger at the sight
Of a sky, like a drunk, overall embraced by night.
CHORUS (out of sync): What has happened here?
STASIMON LEADER: Two Moons! Look above! Now look yonder! To and fro,
Move your head! Doublecheck! Watch the first one's steady glow,
But instead! Crane your neck! Watch the other! Feast your eyes on
What there looms! Tinged with lead, teasing large on the horizon.
Two Moons! What has happened here??
Two Moons! What has happened here??
STASIMON LEADER AND CHORUS: Looming craters, fuming craters, as if sockets for a hundred
Thousand eyes, strangely taken, flying blind! Could this possibly be wise?
What if this is the beginning? What if ten or twenty rise?
O creators, fool creators, Princesses that we despise!
CHORUS (out of sync):
Two Moons! Tell us why! (What has happened here?)
Two Moons! Tell us why! (What has happened here?)
STASIMON LEADER: What will happen if they fall? Will their weight destroy us all?
What will happen if they fall? Will their weight destroy us all?
What will happen if they last? Will they pull their stanchions fast?
And what if they multiply? Will they someday fill the sky?
CHORUS: Will there then be no more sky?
Will there then be no more sky?
Will we live or will we die
In a world with no sky?
Two Moons! What has happened here??
Two
Moons! What has happened here?? ...etc.
