Meet Me On the Moon

Now for some good news, that we might have missed. It ain't no riot or pandemic, so maybe didn't make your list. For the first time in history, a commercial craft flew to space. Bringing humanity back, into the great race. Though still bogged down, with government oversight. Cause we all know 'Red Tape,' can be such a delight. We will see 'Hitch a ride,' programs where we can buy, a ticket for luxury cruises, to take us out past the sky. To hotels and eateries, up there on the moon, and apartment complexes, that'll be coming soon. An outer space vacation, package up in the stars. I'll think I'll wait and, take mine on Mars. Just think of the significance, of this historic day. When to all of our grand-kids, we can proudly say. I remember on just one planet, we lived out our life. It was so filled with hate, war, hunger and strife. But we overcame those problems, back when we learned, that if we only give love, we'll only get love in return. written on May 21st 2020

a magnificent and uplifting poem, Jerry. The rhyme scheme was perfect. I do hope mankind can overcome our problems--the hate, war, hunger, and strife. Wouldn't that be a fabulous legacy?! For the record, I'd like to vacation on the moon. I loved the moon backdrop in your poem. Gotta fav this one. Enjoy your Sunday, Sara
