Start with a Star

Stars

Start with our own

Star

It’s wonderful

And gives us leave

To try for now

To reach

Another one

Before

A billion years

When we must go

There

To survive

Further

To strive

And also

Thrive

x

Which is the hallmark

Of our single race

In cooperation

With all other matter

x

Strive

And thrive

x

Until we meet

Another race

That thrives

By staying in one place

Those who explore

By sending tentacles

Or other metaphors

Out there

Out here

x

We meet them

And someday

We really meet them

And might be friends

For different ways

Our differences

Enhances

x

Then cooperatively

We reach

Out and in

Some more

In fact

Throughout a galaxy

And then

Beyond the rim

x

Stars we make

And then we make

Idea

Here’s an idea:

Leave Ukraine live

Leave Russia live with remorse

While rebuilding

Its neighbor

x

We know

There is no recourse

For life lost

Beyond revenge,

And there’s no point in that

Since taken to extremes,

Well,

Our planet burns

x

But Russia can retreat

Tying up its turrets

Into shoelace- or ribbon-chapes

Send rubles back

With many, many helpers

My guess is

There would be volunteers

Among the soldiers

And the uninvolved

Back home

x

Let this be a pattern, then

Let the Rohingya live

And South Sudan

And blacks and whites

In the USA

And elsewhere

And the other colors, too

Let there be colors

Let there be textures

Let there be sounds

And smells and

Things to taste

The best of these

Makes an amazing world

x

Let there be self-competition

Dreaming

Without nightmares

x

In the living

Let us be fed and watered,

Educated and secure

So that when heaven comes

We meet each other

Easy, unexpected kindred
