#11: Space Race Revised
X-X Bethlehem, then Jerusalem, He'll lay,
slides from angel wings through hourglass timeless
inquiry, that constant without delay
spatial values in place of life ... priceless?
Space is priceless and we welcome it here,
--present company excluded, that is.
Cultural war displaces; others--where?
Mayans, Angkor Wat, Easter's Rapa Nui's.
We measure our worth for what we can take,
the price for this act is life, yours or theirs.
'Take' enjoy the backseat as cruise control, make
it with the jingle turn to wrinkle--cheers!
Space worth is the price for commodities,
let's naught add to Space's new oddities.
