580. Transcendence

Look to the stars, Earth Children!

Look to the stars!

The moon is beckoning.

The universe is calling.

Do not feel confined ‘tween Venus and Mars.

Wander, live, and take wing!

Out there, in the vast expanse,…

Out,…beyond Earth,

Are adventures untold,…

Endless worlds undiscovered.

For what is life and humanity worth,

When left unaccomplished?

Unpolished by experience,

And tarnished by pride.

Stunted by triviality,

While subdued by technicality;

And our home, on the Earth,

Where we try and hide,

From our future potentiality.

Look to the stars, Earth Children!

Look to the stars!

Heaven’s gates are open.

The only question is when?

When will we expand and explore the stars?

And draw, with universe to pen,

The masterpiece entitled:

“The Transcendence of Men”.

577. A New World Endeavor (Not Order)

Why are those with the least vision,

Always given control of humanities’ fate?

They, who strive to build division,

With a lying smile, and call themselves “Great”?

Have we yet to learn our lesson?

Must we keep on repeating the same old mistakes?

When will we join and take action?

And end this irrational loop?… For God sakes!

It’s time for a better future.

One built on the hopes, loves, and freedoms of all men.

A vision, clear, as to never again obscure,

The human rights inherent to all men.

A world with a vision for tomorrow,

Replete with expansion and new innovation,

Where, without and within, we thrive and grow,…

Not a perfect, but at least, a free, world-nation,

Which forsakes destruction, for creation.
