Skipping Too Many Stars

Within my Star Ship
Long flight life trip
Bursting onto the scene
Fame gone in flash

Name living till forever
Prancing galaxy to galaxy
Searching for endless beginnings
Not one in sight

No not yet anyway
Next stop twinkling ahead
Time warped engines roaring
Cosmic dust trailing behind

That last blue planet
Curious lot were they
Barely breaking own atmosphere
Local moon major feat

Must leave before discovered
These creatures quite unstable
Young ones killing others
Older ones just watching
