Continuum
long ago came the point
where we all lost interest
we had seen all there was
and cared not to persist
we were eon's old
when time for you first began
a race of supreme beings
the universe in our hands
in fact we gave it a start
and know just how it will end
our enjoyment now comes
from watching you imagine
but with age comes boredom
even when the world is yours
while most consider it a gift
i wish i had been ignored
but once in a while
there does come a thrill
his name was Jean Luc Picard
more like a Q in will
this man had no powers
nor was he omnipotent
but what he lacked in strength
he gained back in luminance
but what is it that i mean
well to me the world's very dark
and where it lacked luminance
Jean Luc lit up with a spark
this man was a captain
the best in the entire fleet
hell, he had played my own game
and made me fall in defeat
to this man i gave my respect
an honor i hold even from Q's
because even in the continuum
he did what no other could do
but sometimes i pitied him
with the mind of a supreme
i wonder how it must have felt
to be restricted to dreams
though i would not have cursed him
at least not terribly like this
he would not care for immortality
and eternity's not a gift
although his entire species
thought this of themselves
he was one of a kind
but did not care for himself
but that's why he was unique
unlike us, he did not care
he lived his life to the fullest
even when he felt death's stare
Jean Luc did not deserve
to be a forgotten face
his body like no other
just shot off into space
that's why i took his body
from space's ice cold depths
now it lies in the continuum
with proper human respects
so as i now stand
in front of his grave
with Worf, Riker, Jordi, and Troi
the Enterprise's most brave
we know he died with respect
and the honor of many Q's
a truly brilliant man
that this world barely knew
so even after his death
still in front of his grave i stand
giving all my respects
to the old, ca-pi-tan
