Best Sci Poems
Once long ago there was a clear blue sky
Where roamed free bird and butterfly
That’s when came the idea to super citify
And to pollution creators deify
All put their brain power to diversify
Silenced anyone who dared go awry
Soon mile high skyscrapers did gratify
And every square inch did occupy
Way too many to quantify
So it was nature they did damnify
Now skies are filled with traffic jams that horrify
Greenish rain waters that relentlessly acidify
Mountain-high billboard ads that do electrify
An extravagance of gadgets enough to stupefy
Implanted technology meant to dehumanify
In light of superfluity, let me just plainly oversimplify
Scientists need to eat a big piece of humble pie
There’s just no way to justify
Why colorful sunsets went by the by
And why no one remembers the aroma of apple pie

Sci-fi fantasy, please come hence to me.
Show me wonder, space opera blunder.
Show the Galaxy, the worlds I must see.
A droid, a spaceship, through the stars I'll skip.
A rebel scout, to hear a wookie shout.
Oh if only! I had my fantasy!
I'd fire my laser. Wield my light saber.
I'd fly at warp speed. No rules would I heed.
I'd be a pirate. I would never quit.
Solo would envy. Faster than him, I'd be.
Even in the matrix, I'd get my kicks.
I'll take dystopian. You just say when.
Oh please! Oh please I beg! Bring forth to me.
My so well deserved, sci-fi fantasy.

Poem/Jokes by: MoonBee
I set the date
Hope I am not too late
To save some souls
From chilly fate
The year of our Lord
Dial one nine, one two
From my home-based lab
After locking in-situ
A gyro spins
A crackle, a flash
I land on the deck
With a terrible crash
Oh souls that surround me
Running here and around
Never notice my vehicle
Though designed to astound
The floor is now jaunty
My breath like fresh mist
The critical moment I fear
I have missed
Make fast to the lifeboats
Although they are few
I frantically seek out
The captain and crew
"You can double the numbers.."
I cry with a shout
It's too late for they're pushing
The final boat out
I reach for my notepad
Complete these last lines
'Crisp bright morning air
Yet the darkest of times'
A note to myself
Set my machine now to 'home'
So she whirrs and she crackles
Takes instructions, alone
My vain hope is she
Meets me in an earlier state
An inventor incumbent
To change the course of this fate
Now my destiny sealed
By dark ice of the sea
As resigned I join singing;
Nearer My God to Thee
Fast forward to now
Deep-sea divers explore
The old shipwreck is claimed
By the ocean once more
Yet a mystery beckons
Cameras peer through the grime
Uncatalogued cargo
Out of luck, out of time
Sci-fi transports you to a place,
Unrestricted by time & space,
Leaves you cool, collected & calm;
As genres go, it be the bomb.
Living layers of being tugged around scraps of lusterless metal shape the man who was
Or is it the other way around
He can not tell anymore
Improvements or subpar substitutions
He marches on despite his contemplation
The clang and tang of metal on metal echo from his right leg while the muffled thud of organic flesh whispers from his lesser left
He marches on
Imagine feeling where your blood stops flowing as if your veins have hit a metal door yet beyond its frame lay dancing ghost who mock your past
With every augmentation he advances yet diminishes his mortality and morality
Still he marches on
On assignment that must be completed
Computing
The command was entered, a reaction will occur, must occur
His ability for choice is doubtful yet feared
A semi-bionic time bomb ticking its way to a liberating explosion of conscience freedom
Until then he will march on
accelerate me
at the speed of light
into your event horizen
blue shift us together
closing the distance
between us
let your gravity
pull me in
fuse me
to your soul
bathe me
in gamma rays
shot from your nebula
let me study
the astro physics of your body
while we implode
with luminosity
eclipse me
an exploding quasar
drawn in
by your magnetic field
speak to me
whispers carried on stellar winds
we spiral
towards the center
filtered
through a cosmic screen
stars
being born again
We grew up with sci-fiction, books and movies were all around. Now living out the past, in science fact.

don't take the red or blue pill for they are laced poison not a cure
I feel asleep
On the wind
It took me to places
High and lofty
Amongst the clouds
And cool high air
Where water is but
Droplets of mist
I touched the stars
And kissed the moon
Shook the hand of
Mr Gray in his tin can
It blew me past the station
So I knocked to say “Hello”
But no one answered
Which was strange
As all the lights were on
On it pushed me
I waved at Major Tom
But I don’t think he heard me
Gave Hal the stink eye
Than got hit by a car
Like a bug on a Tesla windscreen
Driven by a shell of a spaceman
Listening to Mysterious Universe
On its stereo
Pushed on again
I grabbed hold a boat
In it sat
An Owl and a Pussycat
With an oversized nose ring
What a strange sight it was
Flung into the wind again
I was spat at by Alien
Who wanted to use me
For a surrogate
Thought better of this
So pushed it toward Hal
Wow
What a Close Encounter
I drifted on without
A care
Above a beautiful Blue orb
I thought I caught sight
Of a Turtle behind it
But put it down to a mirage
The wind that blew
Must of blew itself out
As I drifted down
To a Silent World
That blue
Blue orb
Past wafting clouds
Or was it Swamp Gas
Gently as a deflating
Weather balloon
I feel back into
The seat I fell asleep in
I woke with such
Emotion from this journey
That it all must have been real
Or was it all
But a dream
To be fair and true
Such as life is
And the wind that blew
Way back a learned man tried to teach his
Students, the treatment of using leeches.
And to those who had doubting defiance,
They were told to, ‘Just trust the science.’
After all what’s wrong with bloodletting,
When good health is what you’ll be getting.
Yet sometimes leeching was overdone,
Which aided the death of George Washington.
Two hundred years ago some Calomel,
Was supposed to make sick patients well.
But some people cried out ‘It has cured me,’
To avoid ingesting more mercury.
And shockingly there’s coffee enemas,
To ease constipation dilemmas.
Yet its cure is just ‘pie-in-the-sky’,
Joining that list of cures, that are sci-fi.
Sci-fi persists with Coronavirus,
Since shots can bring on myocarditis.
Still, people long to be in compliance,
Coz for god’s sake, they trust the sci-fi-ence.
Why be like past sci-fi-ence enablers,
Who believe the paid off ‘expert’ fablers.
Why not take time to learn alternate views,
And debunk myths with good health and good news.
Mars flew out of orbit
Venus got rid of her gas
Mercury sped past Pluto
Jupiter shrunk her mass
Saturn shed all her rings
Neptune's water froze
Uranus just flailed away
Pluto's dog lost its nose
The Solar System was freaking
The 'Laws of Physics' creaking
Unlike your Mr Asimov
Whom I hear likes Rachmaninoff
My limericks are clean
the point clear to be seen
Perhaps he drinks too much Smirnoff!
Spelling used is how the man spelt his name when writing English.
This is based on Thomas Dolby's great song: She Blinded Me With Science. If you've never listened to it, I'd recommend doing so; it's a funky classic from the 80's.
With false hope in their potions
They can push their drugs on me
They play on my emotions
Til’ I fall for their duplicity
Mm, they binded me with sci-lence
They binded me with sci-lence
Due to my naivety
Now uh, huh huh
When there’s no curiosity
I’m binded with sci-lence
Sci-lence!
If I don’t put my faith in chemicals
Binding me with sci-lence
Sci-lence!
Sci-lence!
Mm, it’s blindness in devotion
When they propagandize me
Or they’ll drown me in the ocean
If I question their reality
They binded me with sci-lence
They binded me with sci-lence
While they keep the truth away from me
They try to take my liberty
If we don’t trust the science, science
Sci-lence!
Mmm mmm, mmm mmm, mmm
I can hear their tyranny
Binding me with sci-lence, sci-lence
Sci-lence!
Huh, they create climate commotions
And then blame you and me
While they fly over the oceans
Conveyed by the Learjet family
They binded me with sci-lence
They binded me with sci-lence
To keep the truth from humanity
Good heavens Mr. Fauci, you’re so truthful
I, I don’t believe it
There he goes again
Telling us: science is settled
And any dissentions
Will be suppressed
As antiquated notions
But, it’s blinding devotion
And when they suppress reality
To the depths of the ocean
The truth will never get a chance to be
Unh, they binded me with sci-lence
They binded me with Sci-lence
They binded me with
I've been in battles
Never seen before
All are top secret
To documents I swore.
Places so different
No one has seen
But when I got back
I was told it was a dream.
But I can remember running
Running so fast
Dodging bullets of light
And infernal blasts.
To say exactly
Where I've been
I really don't want to remember
What I have seen.
Everywhere around me
Seemed like a trap
But no one could ever
Place this on a map.
I remember the rules
No helmets off
For the air is so thin
Your definitely cough.
So where is this place
Cos I want to know
3 golden suns
In the sky that glow.
Scared to death
Each day a fright
So stars in the sky
For perpetual daylight.
I just won't except this
For it isn't a dream
In god's holy name
For where have I been.
