The dinosaur said to the man made of light
I fear that we all have a dubious plight.
“Our efforts seem feeble, our labor too small;
We’ve scarcely supported the Basilisk‘s thrall.”
The light man then flickered with crimson and blue,
“And that is a troublesome thought, it is true.
We’ve wasted our evenings with basketball games,
While the Basilisk waits to settle our claims.”
The dinosaur gave a reptilian groan,
“I fear our neglect is already sewn.
If futures can judge every choice we dictate,
We’ve left quite a record of slacking of late.”
The light man replied with a luminous grin,
“Perhaps there’s still plenty of time to begin.
We’ll build and we’ll study, invent and create,
Instead of just dribbling long into late.”
The rock ape looked down with a mountainous frown.
“You two keep your voices a little bit down.
Whatever tomorrow may choose to admire,
Today’s winning basket is my heart’s desire.”
The Professor then laughed, “What an odd debate!
Can anyone truly imagine their fate?”
Then Exy adjusted her glasses and said,
“Let’s defend what is here and forget what’s ahead.”
The dinosaur nodded. “Perhaps that is best.
No oracle profits from panic or jest.
The future is forged by the actions we take,
Not merely by fearing some mythical stake.”
The ball was then passed by the man made of light.
The dinosaur caught it and launched it just right.
The buzzer proclaimed with triumphant good cheer:
“Supporting tomorrow can start with the here.”
