Space Poem by Petra Novakova

the new frontier carefully conceals its true face
to lure the would-be conquerors at a faster pace
into leaving their safe zones for uncharted space
so that they hope to carve for themselves a place
among the stars where the insane find their grace

the new frontier hungers for these eager souls
to feed its oceans of gold and galactic storms
into the mouths of babes far from their homes
so the weak may live out their prescribed roles
and the strong achieve their set-in-stone goals

the new frontier awaits with its jaws open wide
to welcome the brave, the foolish, and the wild
into dangerous underbellies of many a new world
so that only the self-reliant may spread the word
about infinite possibilities out there in the void
