Best Sciencetravel Poems


Kilometer

Drive and drive but you can't get away
But what if the distance needed a break?

You travel and travel but it stays in place
Covering the world but can not move at pace

It wishes it could write or learn in normal life
have a family of Millimeters and go on Union strike

It wishes of love and the ability to breath
but it's only a unit of measurement you see

for it cannot be anything much more
then a unit of math and metric lore...

New Futures Borne

Intergalactic travel reveals some kinks.
Man visited mars and left a sphinx.
Cydonia and Mesopotamia saw new futures borne.
The “Tower of Babel” and ancient technology…men mourn.
Was man’s “spirit world” formerly preserved on Mars?
Did “sons of God” once travel among the stars?
Egyptians learned to build sphinxes to provide for souls.
Their tradition, also, distantly reverenced afterlife’s goals.
The Tower of Babel…great technology…lost.
Travel through the heavens was stopped at great cost.
Many marvels, modern man cannot explain.
A sphinx on a distant planet, mysteries remain.
