A boy stands sharply on the station's platform.
All in white a classical doctor’s uniform.
Doesn’t think of dangers which lie ahead.

But there is a train coming for him now.

A girl stands surely on the station’s platform.
With cup of coffee made in her college dorm.
Doesn’t think of dangers which lie ahead.

But there is a train coming for her now.

The brother stands quietly on the station’s platform
Ginger, skinny, a tech wizard in human form.
Won’t face the dangers which lie ahead.

But there is a train coming for Dan now.

A species stands confused on life’s platform.
Naive they think death is not the norm.
Don’t know the dangers which lie ahead.

But there is a train coming for us now.
