Europa
(Homo Sapiens
Astralicus)
Europa, Europa,
Ocean of life,
Chemicals and volcanoes,
All churning inside.
We need to go
To
Mars and beyond
To
Jupiter's moon
And
then farther yet,
Past
Saturn's rings,
Past
the comet cloud,
Past
dear Sol's last feeble grasp,
Until
the stars are ours
And
the Universe our playground,
And
Homo Astralicus
Stands
upright on her scattered worlds,
Pointing
to the sky
To show
her children
Where
Sol would be,
If the
sky were darker
And
the star far brighter
Than
the yellow white orb
That
gave us birth.
