Requiem for Reena

The crew was very ill, some died
Your planet helt ritalin we needed
We came to buy or trade for life
With your guardian we pleaded.


At first he said to go away
Then he changed his mind
He felt you could learn something
From men of our kind.


His study, filled with a taste of old earth,
Is where you and I first met
We shared a greeting and your wisdom
And your beauty when we met.


We plaed pool and we danced
Spock played a waltz of Brahms
I told you how I loved you
As I held you in my arms.


The ritalin that we came for
Had to be mined again
We wondered why Flint was delaying us
Our crew so suffered in pain.


The ritalin miined a second time
Was refined and it disappeared
We found it with android girls
Flint's delay soon was clear.


We'd discovered you're not human
And Flint, a 6000 year old man
But you now had some emotion
And you stilll be human can.


Flint and I fought over you
A battle we both regret
You died so you'd hurt none of us
And Spock had me forget.
