TOMORROW
I want to be
around
when they’ve
finally found
life in
outerspace; a new race;
Someone,
something to meet, to greet;
Someone to walk
with, to talk with,
A new kind of
life. How it could,
how it should
change us,
Our little
world, to be hurled
Into a new way
of living, of giving
Thought to
something new,
A fresh view
for us all,
And a chance to
advance to GO –
To speak with
them, seek with them
Other worlds.
Where the face
of the human race
Will be fine
and strong;
Where we’ll
belong
Among the
stars.
