Stars Enthrall Beyond Pollution Sprawl Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Wander alone or play with pebbles on some beach,
wonder at Milky Way which few men may attain,
earthbound most mortals stay, no stargate wormhole chain
may tunnel planets' play, among their orbits preach.

This complex interplay of matter outside reach
n light years far away remains deep dreams' refrain,
on gravitational sway mind muses, boggling brain,
in ode to comet train stars seeding - so some teach.

From Hubble's telescope and images online,
from satellite beamed scope, space information mine,
one ponders nights before stars bright beyond Moon, Mars.

Short-sightedness appals, pall hides horizon line!
Pollution's mist mask sprawls, pinpoints mankind's decline,
shows need to weed out greed impeding sight of stars.
