OUR DESTINY

                    What is the Cosmos destined to become
                    When its potentials have been all deployed
                    Within this universal stadium,
                    From supernova to an asteroid?

                    And of its subtlest creations are
                    We human beings the very pinnacle
                    Of sapience, for that would seem bizarre?
                    Surely a greater race is possible.

                    Or maybe that is just our task right here:
                    Imperfect though we be, to find a way
                    To truly realize who may appear
                    When all the laws of Wisdom we obey.

                        For Homo sapiens sapiens to arrive,
                        Is our implicit mission to contrive.
