PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

We left the earth,

that toxic waste dump,

left all that meaningless

strife behind, 

"We said screw it" and

boarded our ship and blasted

off into the unknown, searching

for some place better to live

But paradise would be a lot harder

to find then we thought.

We spent years out there in that void.

barely staying afloat,

lives lost, their bodes

ejected out into the vacuum,

Our hope was fading, motivation lacking,

chasing the snipe, going in circles,

all we could see was darkness in every

direction; we were lost, we had wagered

our lives on a fantasy, on a false promise.

God would never answer our prayers, we were alone,

the only thing that would change our plight was us,

our faith in ourselves, our love for each other and the 

will to push on despite the infinitesimal chance of finding

our colony: our promised land.
