PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

In those days, when the Earth was still intact,

life-spans were quite dramatically increased.

Death was, sometimes, a far too active fact.

But some were raised up (if no kin had slacked

details.  And these were called the Predeceased;

and, back into mainstream life, were released.

But these, for the most part, kept to themselves,

believing they not be fully loved

like those really alive;  and feeling as if shoved

off like proscribed books onto obscure shelves,

until someone made this discovery:

that outer space is ful of vast distortions

that put the mind and senses through contortions---

once (more than merely temporarily)

they are severed from earth's geometry,

which seems ingrained in Man genetically,

affecting all earthborn in varied portions.

So this great obstacle no longer holds

us from the "rapids" of the Space Enfolds.
