Few of us retained our physical forms…

Poem Artwork

And left our red sandy world,

Traveling the universe in search,

Of creatures not unlike ourselves,

Signals we transmitted into deep space,

As in that general direction our ships hurled…

 

Records now of our past,

Only serve to relate our last,

Our world did die oh so fast,

Our planet did avoid its final blast,

But too late, our population had all since passed…

 

We conquered light speed X ten,

Never our galaxy did we see again,

On our flight we did discover more human men,

But we were the last of a dying breed,

Our ship was burned up in a sun gone nova,

Trying times ten to exceed…

Ed, just do mach five, and stay alive, you are spaced out again I see!
Keep it up, and you'll be, an other Roddenberry, this is good pseudo science, but then so is everything else. Loved it man!

Ed Matlack, you have reached the few high rungs of the poetry ladder, this composition have the sound of prophetical words and yet under that pseudo science fiction mannerism lies a literary purity.
Ten times the light speed will never stop you to go by other galaxies where more intelligent and peaceful people may reside, althout you will never know, you are going too fast.

Keep the faith, brother. Me and Edvard are determined to find more surviving flying reptiles like yourself. We know more of them are lurking around Earth somewhere, we saw it on X-Files!

This is thought-provoking piece, Ed! You've got me thinking that when our planet will make its final blast!...or will it?

With the global warming and the icebergs that are melting away from the Antartic, I think we will all die from drowning even before the final blast. Perhaps many billions of years from now, the earth will be just one big water globe in the universe with sunken lands.
