With A Grain Of Salt Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

With A Grain Of Salt

Rating: 5.0


eras in history cannot be argued
they have endured their time and their history
and start meeting a brand new era
with the name of the result of that brand new era

evolution and revolution cannot be mixed
they are like fraternal twins,
an addition in era but completely different

the social revolution broke out,
from working by hand
we stepped into a completely different era:
working with the machine,

but the evolution of man still continues,
maybe we'll be ape-man again,
and history repeats itself

but make sure we have already flown to other planets
like Branson and Besos have gone to other new earths
for now they come back

yesterday Branson was quickly back from that other earth
he had gone with two pilots
his wife didn't come

Besos has yet to go, better provided than Branson
accompanied by a lady of 82 years (astronout, but never flown as an astronaut)

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Poet's Note: a little prose so as not to argue about this but to think about it and to be at peace with ourselves Wally Funk,82, didn't get astronaut wings decades ago because of her gender and will finally get the chance to fly into space later this month. She will travel into space along with Amazon founder (she was invited by Jeff Bezos) , Jeff Besos, his brother and the secret winner of a charity auction, aboard Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket. Thank you for reading and for your valuable feedbacks and responses I most appreciated, best regards from Sylvia Frances Chan from The Netherlands

An insightful and informative poem. Man is always evolving and searching for the unknown. Always thirsty to satisfy their quest for knowledge and experience. Man has no satisfaction.

Dream big and don't give up ever. You'll see it come true someday if not today. Time is the key player before it nothing happens. Best wishes for the 82 year old. Good one Sylvia.

Look where money can take you. Some have never even been on a bus. We are racing to fix covid, these guys are racing to the moon. But that is life! Thank you for this interesting poem.
