Cold Absolution

The unknown space so cold
The unknown age known to be old
Home to the stars that shine
Do you think you'll be fine?

Absolution is the answer
Absolution is fair
Absolution is there
Waiting for you to bear

Are we a bit like that?
Or are we like this?
A cat on a mat
Giving you a cold hiss

Notes: Was listening to MUSE songs when I came up with this. I tried making the first stanza like malay poetry where the first stanza usually has nothing to do with the poem.... then again it maybe does. Please comment.

Maybe your A/C is on Wailer? By the way may I ask if you got your name from a band called THE WAILERS?
