Looking

Looking into space /
Searching for an answer. /
Can this human race /
Get beyond this cancer? /
Or is it “me in first place, /
Always and like a prancer”? /
Will this selfish attitude erase /
The noble side of the stance here? /

Will some alien race /
One day find we did not care? /
That it is only about OUR space /
With no desire to share? /

I watch this selfish prancing /
And try only to observe. /
This deep and destructive dancing /
Could be the end of the human herd. /

If someday out in space /
Mankind should be among the stars /
It will be because this race /
First escaped its niggardly bars. /

The world will only see us nobly /
If at first we are. /
Then we can go forth boldly /
And reach beyond the stars.
