Island Earth

Island Earth

My home, this Island Earth

Warm sustained by photon food

Humanities’ abode

For what it’s worth

Why should I care

What’s beyond our galactic shores

When all is used and fossils gone

Maybe we’ll look up and dare to dream

Born to squabble over nowt

O’er scraps of land, we always fight

A celestial ark we must build

Let’s not fade to Dylan’s dark night

With pointed purpose

Stop and stare

Aim with hope toward the light
