Pluto
They demoted Pluto.
He’s no longer a planet.
The Universe has dwarfed him by its colossal expanding size
The edge ran too far away and Pluto can’t see it anymore so he’s not a planet.
Like those who’s eyes rebel and don’t let the looker see beyond themselves, shutting the looker into their own atmosphere and denying them the access to horizon.
Just as Pluto was locked beneath the surface of the earth,
Locked into the mines of silver and gold, never bringing them into sun’s illumination himself
Slowly digging himself deeper and deeper away from the sun
Pluto’s death became him, he became death, keeper of the underworld
Thief of rebirth and causer of winter.
Pluto
Your distance from us caused your death, you brought it on yourself
Creep closer, let the sun warm your skin to your icy core
But demotions are final
You will always be lesser and not welcome in Olympus
But the hearts of men don’t forget death,
they carry your memory in the same chamber as new found lovers and try to appease them both with the same fruit, forcing them to stay
But you can’t be the lover, you are too inconsistent, too varied, too close to your own reflection which revolves around you
You’re locked in a separate corner of the heart’s chamber, a separate mine, a separate class
I don’t shed a tear, your movement never drew my interest, your change doesn’t prickle my sighted eyes
I see my horizon and I chase it as it runs
You lost sight of your’s a long time ago and everyone has noticed
So they demoted you
They announced it publicly, without warning. Did you get for notice? Did they tell you first?
I’m sure the message would have reached you the same as mine, but you are oceans and seas of stars away and your eyesight isn’t very good.
Not that it matters when you knew, know, they won’t let you fight, but I know you wouldn’t try
You like your vast cave of dark spotted by specks of silver. Do they shine that far from the sun? Can you at least hear them twinkle?
Did you hear the stars’ hearts break when they heard the news, or is everything so frozen they stopped making stars out there?
This could be good for Pluto.
Build up his size, he’ll be a huge dwarf, his ego, reputation will grow enormous. But I can’t be jealous of demotion.
