Arturo Michael Poet Verse

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

Freddie Robinson Jr. November 27, 2020 at 6:10 PM 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.

Panagiota Romios August 19, 2020 at 1:23 PM 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 Arturo Michael August 21, 2020 at 3:20 AM The violence will stop...changes are often painful...but we must...for the future of the children and their children...Thanks Panagiota

Melani Udaeta June 14, 2020 at 6:02 PM All the vibes. Relevant. Nicely done.

Harry Horsman June 6, 2020 at 10:04 AM Nostradamus predicted, after the great up-evil of the early 21st century, man would travel to the stars,,,and of course, carry on there with his antics as well...awesome poetry. to my favs.

Evelyn Judy Buehler May 31, 2020 at 10:54 PM 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.

Paul Callus May 31, 2020 at 4:00 PM 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

Lindsay Laurie May 29, 2020 at 8:51 PM G'day Arturo … nice lyrics indeed to promote where humanity may head in time - thank you Arturo - Lindsay

Jennifer Proxenos May 21, 2020 at 11:29 AM 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. Arturo Michael May 23, 2020 at 1:58 PM 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

Jeanne Mcgee May 19, 2020 at 1:16 PM Our children's destiny? We may have to riot first... Arturo Michael May 19, 2020 at 5:45 PM You make me smile...the future is clear, I certainly won't be there...but I got a chance to see...

Jan Allison May 16, 2020 at 10:06 AM lets hope it doesn't come to this Arturo but space may be a safer alternative to the current situation. Hugs jan xx Arturo Michael May 18, 2020 at 3:21 PM 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...

Silent One May 12, 2020 at 11:27 AM An intelligent insight to what the future could be like... Great poetry Arturo Michael May 12, 2020 at 2:02 PM Emotional most likely...Thanks SO...I haven't been as active as before... setting up a hand in this poetic game of cards...is like walking on water...

Mystic Rose Rose May 11, 2020 at 11:52 AM I wouldn't mind being a star gypsy these days, anywhere is bound to be better then earth, beam me up Scotty ! Stay healthy dear Arturo, heart blessings are coming your way Arturo Michael May 11, 2020 at 5:43 PM Thank you Pixie...All the best

Swetha Vangaveti May 10, 2020 at 9:11 AM This is a such an incredible write!!! Arturo Michael May 11, 2020 at 10:45 AM Thank you Swetha...All the best to you and yours...Keep SAFE

Shirley Hawkins May 10, 2020 at 5:22 AM 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. Arturo Michael May 11, 2020 at 10:44 AM Thanks Shirley, you're very kind...I wish you well during this world crises...All the best

Mark Koplin May 8, 2020 at 11:55 AM Space gypsy will one day come I'm sure. Thanks for helping my mind wander today. Great poem my friend. Arturo Michael May 11, 2020 at 10:42 AM You are welcome Mark...Thanks my friend...Hope you and family are keeping well...

Matt Coffelt May 7, 2020 at 7:46 PM Arturo, I want to tell you that I’m becoming a huge fan of your work! Space Gypsies is a fascinating alluring piece. Well done ???? Arturo Michael May 8, 2020 at 6:54 AM Your words are like a support...very kind of you...I think during this epidemic, I'm just letting go...if I live another day to write...I give it all...Thanks Again

Timothy Hicks May 6, 2020 at 7:24 PM "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. Arturo Michael May 7, 2020 at 2:35 AM Thank you Timothy...You're really kind...and that's a blessing

Liam Mcdaid May 6, 2020 at 2:56 PM nicely painted arturo this fires it straight to the point in your pen glowing wishing you a blessed day Arturo Michael May 7, 2020 at 2:34 AM Thank YOU Liam... You write,safe and sound...so I know you're good...these times are like war, who ain't dead badly injured...All the best my friend

Charlie Smith May 6, 2020 at 2:52 PM 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... Arturo Michael May 7, 2020 at 2:30 AM That will happen Charlie...and more...Enjoy another Chateau Lafite Paulillac...May good thing come to YOU

Vijay Pandit May 6, 2020 at 11:23 AM Your message resonates my friend--well done, Arturo. Arturo Michael May 7, 2020 at 2:27 AM Thank you Vijay...Hope you're keeping well... Haven't been around much...but I wish you the best

Tom Cunningham May 6, 2020 at 9:32 AM 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 Arturo Michael May 6, 2020 at 10:18 AM Hi Tom... I'm Ok...Thank you...The consciousness of these times, has focused my attention on life...So I've been spending some time putting it in order...Thanks for stopping by...

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart May 6, 2020 at 9:06 AM Well told, if we could only be so smart, we wouldn't be in this state. Hugs! xomo Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart May 6, 2020 at 9:19 AM 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. Arturo Michael May 6, 2020 at 9:11 AM 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
