Tis a moot question:
Does the world shape our feelings
Or vice versa?

Out there lie Venus and Mars
Like watchtowers
Barring our hoped-for escape,
But now they have become
Mere targets in our scopes.
We've moved on
And the Galaxy's marches
Await our longed-for
Break for the open gate
To the stars
That was never truly closed.
Can you not sense it?
Someone's bent out of shape.
Someone's afraid we'll come back.
We were never meant
To get this far.

There is no limit
To what lies within you:
your infinite ability
matched only by your infinite
capability
for self restraint
and both are native,
powered and motivated
by your innate
decency.
