To the Stars

Humanity spread across the expanse of space Into the unknown, as if a race Starship after starship spread the seed After that first step, we were finally freed From the cradle, the branches were spread As if glass roof was lifted from overhead Billions of people chose to escape the mundane They flew willingly into unfamiliar terrain Faster and bigger ships were constructed Go forth and multiply they were instructed So humanity spread out into the solar system From there, the stars, like a living organism Star after star, galaxy after galaxy There where wars on the universes tapestry Wonders where seen, new life forms detected Love and death and other human traits reflected This was a dream I had one day Humanity needs to go, for here we cannot stay We have overpopulated the earth, we are now forsaken It is guaranteed to happen, once that first step is taken It’s our only choice in order for civilisation to survive One small planet is too small for so many to thrive Stop wasting money on wars and guns Instead explore the universe, and its infinite suns
