Short Colonize Poems

Ticks colonize cows
With no hands to remove
Only mouth to moo...

Stephen Hawking says we must colonize another planet
Or face extinction, sure hope we can manage it
That's quite a goal
For us human souls
The movers will make a large fortune, I submit...

They're taking reservations to travel to Mars
Be the first to colonize another planet far
Too old to make the trip
Too bad, into history I'd slip
Think I'll stay put and just strum my guitar...

They're taking reservations to travel to Mars
Be the first to colonize another planet so far
Too old to make the trip
Too bad, into history I'd slip
Think I'll stay put and just strum my guitar...

They're taking reservations to travel to Mars
To be the first to colonize a far distant star
Much too old to make the trip
A goner I'd be, into history I'd slip
Think I'll stay put and just strum my guitar

I colonize to unite, they colonize to divide
It is time to return the union of the archipelago
To unite the community through dinar and dirham
The colonizers colonized our homeland
Through divide-and-rule tactics at hand 
To colonize the colonizers should be done
Through unite-and-rule tactics must become 
I love you freedom!...

In a little state of shock 
so many things left to pack;
She tries not to watch the clock
or gaze up at the stars tracks;

Overcome with emotion,
what an opportunity!
She made the right decision 
to be a piece of history; 

It's the beginning, this trip
rebuilding the human race;
Just a one way rocket ship, 
this chance to colonize Space...

Leprosy  

Foolhardy blight that languishes in a musosal drop
Transmitted to the genetically predisposed
That causes dermal cells to mutate
With its tubercle relative to sympathize
Slow surface lesions manifest
And the host begins to realize
Its ancient punishment from the gods
Singled out to be excluded
In colonies for those alike
As microbacterium leprae proceeds to colonize...

When those we send back to the moons surface,
those we dispatch to those lifeless planets
that hang dead-boned and airless
in our small corner of space;
when they who reach and explore,
colonize and construct,
will they eventually construe
what we knew all along
that we who dwell on Earth
are the one reason for God to exist.
That God is here in the fruitful soil
of this garden
where eternal life has planted its heart....

Is that a sphinx we see on Mars
      Resembling the one in Egypt
Just how were the pyramids built
     And pharaohs placed in lavish crypts

When Mars’ oceans began to dry
     Did species seek preservation
Did ancient astronauts arrive
     To colonize a new nation

To date, the complex construction
     Of Egypt’s tombs sparks speculation
Are Martians in man’s family tree
     Hanging limbs, green blood relations

The total sum of all humans who have ever lived is estimated at 106.4 billion
and 6% of that total refers to all humans presently living.
1/3 of this total population of humans who were ever conceived
is the result of unforeseen or unplanned or unwanted pregnancies.
The time has come for all humans to better manage the birth of more babies
otherwise we will have to colonize other planets in order to preserve our species
after we've established civilizations deep in our oceans and seas....
