Space, The Final Frontier?

Space, the Final Frontier?

A poem by Douglas Gempel

July 23,2013

As we tumble forward in time,

Man is as green as a lime,

When we reach for the distant stars,

We realize we need rocket cars,

To take us to and fro,

So mankind can grow,

From one small blue marble in the sky,

So the human race does not die,

For if we fail to recognize our issues,

We may need something more than tissues,

To save our earth,

Create new worth,

By moving to space,

To save the human race,

For as we move towards a bright new future,

We need to cure our swollen suture,

Because now and forward,

As we move toward,

A crowded place,

In swollen space,

To create a new place,

To save the human race,

For in the end,

We must win,

And spare the earth,

And save our worth,

For those that come later,

Like a space invader,

Free at last,

From turmoil and blast.
