A short poem about the Citadel space station from the Mass Effect Universe.
The Citadel
===========================

You are so large and gleaming
The size of you, I cannot tell
With aliens, you are teeming
You are the great Citadel

Five long arms joined by a ring
At the hands of the geth, you fell
But Shepard saved you like a king
You’re the awesome Citadel

The Council begins to rise
You dock the Normandy so well
In the busy markets, time flies
You’re the massive Citadel

The galaxy shall keep it
Enjoy its marvelous keepers
But no one knows the dark secret:
You were built by the Reapers
