'' Earth '' Poem by Bri Mar

In that frontier called space,
We refuse to face,
The human just cannot survive
We know that's the case,
Yet the human race,
Pretends out there we can thrive.

The immune system dies,
Radiation then fries,
The body both inside and out,
It's not a surprise,
We are being fed lies,
As our future here is in doubt.

Then there's our mind,
It makes up mankind,
Remember our health is our wealth,
We were never designed,
Are we really that blind,
Outer space will destroy us by stealth.

Our muscles waste,
They can't be replaced,
Physically our bodies are destroyed,
That dream being chased,
Means we're acting in haste,
It's something we need to avoid.

The distances are vast,
They'd leave you aghast,
To travel takes thousands of years,
The technology we've amassed,
You'd have to lambaste,
We know it will all end in tears.

Let's say we succeed,
Who'll take the lead,
If we meet up with an alien commune,
Who will concede?
Will they make us bleed?
To their germs will we be immune?

Instead of out there,
Let's start to repair,
The planet where we came to berth,
Come together and share,
Show that we care,
For the home that we titled,
