Space Gypsies

Open your eyes What’s the world to be All indications Points to misery Pain and heartache Destruction of atmosphere All for money One day man would sell you air Open your mind This system cannot work No well intended leader Can rule to save our souls If we’re not together Choosing to live in peace Adhere to justice A World of Unity Then it’s obvious Stars be our only hope We’ll be space gypsies Who once lived on the Earth Space Gypsies The search will be our home

Thoughtful zero-G sentiments expressed beautifully in this very creative poem, Arturo. It's all good, as long as we don't bring along for search party ride, the "hate" virus. Cool write! An instant fave of mine, for sure. Love and Happy Holidays.

Arturo...let's see us stop the violence in cities, We cannot. I think man would ruin the celestial universe as much as he is currently ruining people by playing the race card OT pitting rich against poor. It's a tragedy that poets don't get the blood flowing all over the guuters of the USA. Space gypsies..cute idea and the end of the planet ((( Pangiexxx

The violence will stop...changes are often painful...but we must...for the future of the children and their children...Thanks Panagiota

Your eloquent poem speaks to a crisis that should be taken seriously by all-the future of our beautiful planet. Nice poem, Arturo. Best of wishes.

At the rate we're going the future does not look at all bright, and as you aptly put it in this poem, there will come a day when 'we' will be forced to abandon Earth in search of a better life. ~Regards // paul

Space gypsies sounds like fun, but will we make i or I think probably the next generation born from now on. I love your poem - your topics are all so different Arturo, an excellent write. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

Maybe two generations or more...whether we learn to live together or not...we must roam the universe...Thanks Jennifer...It's hard to do the same write twice...So I actually make an effort to review all my writes to avoid repetition

It has to come...like the sunlight to the morning...I guess it's written in the stars...We may never learn to love one another...

A thought-provoking poem which is sadly very true. One day man would sell you air (even if this could be done it would be contaminated) the world has become so corrupt it is a wonder that nobody has tried to sell fresh air in an empty bottle before the virus and some people would be foolish enough to buy it. What a sad worrisome time for us all, it's enough to drive us all crazy ... Thank you Arturo for writing this poem.

"We'll be space gypsies who once lived on earth" ... this brings to mind those wonderful Isaac Asimov fictions of people escaping their problems by terraforming other planets. Only in those scenarios, they lead to tragedy and just repeated past mistakes (just on other floating rocks). Your unique astral poetry makes my mind wander on the what-ifs of the future. You have a fabulous title, by the way.

Cheery thoughts Arturo, I'm of the opinion there is a brave new world awaiting us through radical mind altering chemical discoveries, but that's just me, meanwhile I'll just bide my time with a nice Chateau Lafite Paulillac. Enjoyed the write, best wishes...

I dread to think of what mankind would do to a new home( planet) Wouldnt be long until the rubbish piled up. He's proved he can't look after the planet he's got. Hope you're well. Tom

We are missing will. We haven't always, we did manage to take action and repair the ozone layer; but I'm afraid whatever tipping point their was, we have passed.

We are very resistant to change...like water on duck back...the virus may knock us down but despite everything we'll probably get worse...let's see
