A New Galaxy Far Far Away

Be still my beating heart

for it may come out of my chest,

sprout wings

and fly to the next galaxy and

beyond

 

one where

there are no wars, theft,

manipulation,

currency,

racism,

cancer, psychological issues,

man left to fend for himself

all alone with no place to go

and nobody left

to comfort him.

 

this new place has none of that

they've moved past those lessons

a long time ago,

laughing

at our young planet

in its infancy and false wisdom

that it thinks it has

but has not.

 

people

of all walks of life, races, ethnicities,

backgrounds, colors, religions,

they're all in line for a ticket to go

 

the next galaxy stands

ready to receive

but one question remains,

whether the leaders have enough pride

to admit when they're wrong,

that their planet

is inferior

after all.
