To Mars or Bust

\'Best of all we picked up
Elon Musk\'s used \'Starship 1\'
on Ebay for a song.
\"Only One Owner!\"
(here\'s my question? bare with me, Please
if the \'Anti\'-virus vaccination
doesn\'t prevent you from getting it?
only prevents you from suffering
the Fatal worst of its illness?
exactly, what does it matter if we
get a Worldwide 100% vaccination rate?
surely it will only take, One loose
Bat - out of Laboratory, Hell
for us to all \'Get-it\', once again...
so then, why blame the unvaccinated
for an \'Anti-virus\' solution
that clearly, has limitations in effectivity?
Maybe, you think
if we\'re all running around pointing fingers
the government will assume, we\'ll ignore
they\'re injecting us
with nothing more than watered-down: antibiotics
rather than formulating, a Truly effective
\'Anti\'-virus, solution?
Is this the Zealotry in modernity\'s Worship
of all things Science, maybe...)
lol, thanks for sharing such a fun read
and inspiring my little scribbled reply

Doggerel Dave said:

An entertaining write, John. My guess is you have or still enjoy science fiction. Nothing like some witty irony to flavour the dish either.

if and when, it depends
SureshG said:

This is great example of using one medium to envision another, but done so poetically is fantastic

L. B. Mek said:

so very clever, too clever
or else, everyone else will have definitely shown
your ingenuity more appreciation
for I am certain, this write
has little - but, that flint-spark of inspiration
in its ink weaved - knitted, connection
to, actual - traditional knitting...
(wonderfully unique
two sounding words in a line, as its knotted rhyme
of poetic expression)
such a fun read
thanks for sharing, dear poet

Lilt of tilt, askew, awry
Doggerel Dave said:

There are certainly some weathered tattered old buildings in this wide brown land, John. And I vote with you when it comes to the cherished warm patina of old age.
Enjoyed that write very much.

Mister Joe Jangles
Doggerel Dave said:

Thanks for that John.
Had to come back and read again later (I\'m slow sometimes) but once I got the way it was hanging , it jangled very nicely in my head.

L. B. Mek said:

its true, even after I\'ve finished reading
the melodic jangles of your choice wording
resonate - with me and linger:
\'and his reader,
now walk with jangles
echoing within.\'
thanks for sharing, dear poet

We the Navigators
SureshG said:

Our ancestors were the true adventurers, they took the risk and ventured into unknown territories. They navigated while I get lost using GPS.

Jerry Reynolds said:

A fine write, F.F.
Perhaps, however, we have not lost anything just gotten more observant.

Doggerel Dave said:

Rich in detail again. I couldn\'t quite get my head around how discoveries of new lands in, say the Pacific happened.- seemed to me the birds were the most significant factor.
Full of content - got a further education there, John.

Cool poem. Representing how \'civilisation\' is killing our natural instincts and connection to our environment

Jerry Reynolds said:

Good write, F.F.
A Buddhist response. Put your fingers to your ears so you can\'t hear, close your eyes so as not to see. Count one, two, three quickly open. Singularity or Bang- which is more fun?

I beg to differ .. it is not always the journey (life per se) .. but the distractions along the way that make it uniquely and individually special ........................................... :)

dusk arising said:

When you consider all the money being spent to research the questions about this and that of the universe, wouldn\'t it be nice to put it to the vote... continue this pointless research or spend the money doing...... well where do I start.... so many worthy causes here on our home.

A good thought provoking write.

Knowing ourselves is the most important as with that knowledge we can spread love and kindness to all.

For me knowing means killing the magic of things. As poets we are generally a soppy romantic lot and much prefer seeing what things might be than what they actually are. Good poem FF

Doggerel Dave said:

This, for me, is good and right. I exist, I’m happy about that. I know little else but ‘I’m here because I’m here’.
As I am here, I might just as well make what I can out of it.
Now most of your piece recounts theories which may or may not be overturned some day, and should anyone find them interesting then go for it. But they won’t, don’t worry me overly.
And one more thing – when I cark it, or when the whole world becomes desolate and sterile, it won’t make one iota of difference to the universe……. So I’ll enjoy what I’ve got now and engage with the reality around me. I’d like this world, civilization to be much better than it is, but I don’t think there’s much chance of that…..

One more mysterious (to the uninitiated) activity you\'ve revealed here, John. Thanks.
Easy to train those dogs?
Couldn\'t you pension the pigs off?
