New Worlds

New Worlds

Carry me please spaceship
Far from this wretched Earth
Let me face new hardship
Let me prove my worth

Leave behind the stun gun
The petty wars and strife
A new flag up my pole to run
Give me explorers life

Guide me to a distant star
Where I can build a home
 I will travel wide and far
The universe I’ll roam

I’ll wander with the alien
Who cares colour or shape
The humanoid reptilian
Or super-human ape

Let me leave this planet
As I left my mothers knee
Shoot me like a comet
Across the galaxy

Looking back past the moon
Where I live in my bliss
Knowing Earth, faces doom
And blow it one last kiss.

Hi Richard - you really want out of this world. I think we rather have you here, but if you want adventure go for it. Take care and God bless. Lucilla
