Drums of Yesterday

We once saw the moon
We have always wished for the stars
Viewed faraway lands
tuned up/  machines 
while connecting far and wide 
but today   
we now string and croon 
from the moon
waving to our neighbours 
the twinkling stars
marching over mars
 Toppled mountains 
Even reining the roaring waves
but alas 
why then With all our conquest 
We are still beating 
The drums of yesterday
