Poem
A Strange Man from a Far Distant Star. A strange man from a far distant star; Comes to teach us, to show us the future. To show us a new direction, a new path to follow; To stop us becoming, our own killer. The future is orange, in this ungodly land; The fire burns brightly, for this galactic traveller. We must all learn, how to understand; The message he left, which could change our future. We must help him return, to the planet he left; To let him show us the things, that are buried in our heads. This psychedelic spaceman, with his orange platform boots; Travelled to the moon and beyond, fighting aliens and fixing robots. His special silver suit and his shades made him cool; He's got some moon dust for his baby And a piece of rock from Mars for her school. Untouched land, heading back to his land. From a forgotten traveler; from a psychedelic spaceman. From the strangest of strangers, here comes the man from Obsidium, With his tin pot space rocket, which runs on petroleum. The spaceman's here, to show us the way; To travel the stars, using his galactic space map. One step for mankind, that was taken by a monkey; Has let him take us to the stars, but he's never coming back. This journey is one way, the destination is Obsidium; He will bring us into contact with his peers and all sorts of aliens. We can bounce on the moon, with a lack of gravity; Finding new alien species, on the volcanoes of Mars. This adventure will be joyous, with occasional tragedy; But our mission will lead us, to travel to new stars. The first question he asked was who will win the Human race? And do you think Linford Christie, would win Britain first place? Or would a pioneer win it, so they could claim it? Like they claimed the native America; I guess they'd just steal it. Then he said "Come with me and I'll open your minds; Show you Jupiter, Venus and Pluto’s endless mines. We can leave this place called Earth and explore a new galaxy; We can race a shooting star, we can do anything. But you must give up this life that you take for granted And beam up with me, into my funky spaceship.” (C)2005 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
