Brief History of the Galaxy
Numbers are the cosmic language, or maths
As light is the universe’s way of greeting
Stars form around other stars, like
A who’s who of popular luminosity
It’s not always the colors you think
That have the most life, or where
The best species grow up
I know a blue Earth where
Humans made machines that made other machines
That’s the life that was left there
And they found a way to harness the sun
For free-energy, since the petrol companies
Had long ago died and forgot to destroy
The patents to free-energy, machines liked it of course
It didn’t require all those killing organics
To be running around like they owned everything.
