These future times
Of travel amongst the stars
Brought new races from afar,
Now we mix in a Galactic milieu
Trading much more than we used to,
And people still remained the top of that list
And on this day a huge man with bucket like hands,
Came in with just one demand
To crew his ship with various people,
But with a concubine to date his needs
And a lost girl was brought out,
She had no family, they’d been killed because of her father’s name
He was once part of all this game,
The giant man liked what they offered
And a handsome sum her proffered,
She didn’t want this but had no choice
He threw in a hold of his ship she had no voice,
He abused her and used her in many ways
She bided her time and then one day,
She seized her chance while in a bar fray
She shot her captor as other guns fired
And from that moment her freedom she acquired,
And ambushed the crew as they returned to the ship
She had guns strapped to her hips,
Said she would kill everyone
Unless they took their chance to run,
And run they did and she found a new crew
Who like her were female victims too,
And from then on they traversed the universe
Helping those suffering and hurt,
She as the Captain, clad in leathers and lace
She found a new home on a peaceful planet deep in space,
And from their they carried out raids
Picking up waifs and strays,
And soon enough word got around
Not to mess with her, not now,
Or at any other time
Because she would challenge any crime,
She was of a determined mind
To put right all that she saw wrong,
And she became a Galactic force of good
And made safe many planetary neighbourhoods.
