Question: Will you answer a question about the future!?
Has Our Time Come!?
by Elaine P

From the spawn
in the slime
to H!. Sap
on the Moon,
from the sea
ripe with life
to the plains
dried to dust,
from the village,
human shelters
to the cities
choked with smog,
from the Earth
on to Mars
can our species
yet survive,
though we dream
of travel far,
is it but
a fantasy!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
but further documentaries, since Jacques Crousteau!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.have showed up those same dead areas coming BACK to life, thru clean up, regulations, laws, and sound environomental practices!.

The moral of the story is!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.

we survive, if we CHOOSE to survive!.

SOME of us care!.

As for the poem!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.

Tis not a fantasy
to dream of stars,
for they are real,
and the sun us ours!.
We are one people,
circling 'round that golden orb,
and together we must strive
for knowledge to absorb!.

(yeah, okay!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.so YOU try rhyming orb!.!.!.!.!.okay!? )Www@QuestionHome@Com

But the spawn
in the slime
will survive
after our demise
and evolve
into (I hope)
a better
kind of folk!.
Ones who
may kill
to eat,
but won't
kill
their
fellow man
through
jealousy and hate
To realise, too late
what is needed to survive!.
Who will see
the sense
in harmony!.
And believe
life is worth
protecting
and nurturing,
Here where we began
will live a new
kind of man!.
Living the dream
that was soiled
when we
carelessly
despoiled
Planet Earth!.


But, we will survive!.!.!.!.!.especially when there are people like you who care!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Elaine, stop kicking poor Gene Roddenberry when he's down!. He knows Star Trek was just a pipe dream, but if we all would just start smoking pipes!.!.!.!.

Seriously, valid question, good list of examples in such a short poem!. It's hard not to be cynical about life when cynics are usually our heroes, isn't it!? Now, right the contrary: give us some hope!Www@QuestionHome@Com

`One day it won`t be a fantasy!. Maybe not in our lifetime,but very soon after!. All I know ,weather we go to mars or not,is
that there Is an after life and that`s where I`m going!. So maybe I will see you there!. I loved your poem very much!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A fantasy
for those of us,
Who read and write
of Mars!.
For those who come
from later years,
and drive in
flying cars,
Our fantasy
may then be real,
And they may
live up there!.
Communal domes
Across the land,
Be dotted
everywhere!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Very descriptive poem!. Thanks for sharing it here!. I trust in what God shows me, in order to make it through what people do to our earth!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A dream always begins a quest
and fantasies are dreams unfilled
So reach for the planets but stop not,
for galaxies await as the universe calls

Nicely done and a message we need heed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I loved this poem so much as it tells what our planet is going thru with all her fury!.She' mother earth is not happy how were treating her and she is fighting for her life' and i am fighting with her!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is our destiny to reach for the stars!. It always has been!. And we will do it!. Good poem!. No, it's not a fantasy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Jacques Cousteau showed us how, in his lifetime, the Mediterranean went from alive to dead!. Most people don't care!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What really made this one work for me was the line lengths; they gave the poem a nice cadence!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A lovely read of what lingers in our mind!.

"With God all things are possible not with man!."

Keep the faith!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Some may well be fantasizing about the truth!. Our time is coming indeed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
