2552 - I love music

Days, weeks, months, all good seemingly this year
Mind you, each year has been good in the past
Appreciate each day, have fun, good cheer
And if possible, even have a blast
Why else be alive? Time goes by so fast
But really it's slow, fate is kind to us
More so than in the past, but that has passed
However, do we know that? Why now must
Things always get better now than they used
To be? Some people seek answers in prayer
And all expect science to win at last
Maybe it's best to be oblivious
Just follow your goals, what they want, don't care
Music and love their happy shadows cast

2310 - Life and death science

Welcome to 2013, we're all teens
Again, like we were in the First World War
Learning the harsh truths again, although seen
Through gas clouds darkly. Pax Nucleana
Has saved our souls lately. Are we before
A new technology replacing bombs
With something else that kills, but saves the floor
And buildings for our vanquishers? What comes
From hoarded wealth, if not emptying homes
Of poor opponents worldwide? The earth teems
And cash can't be spread that thin. Jehovah
Sent witnesses to warn there wasn't room
For more mortal life, but confess your sins
New births will stop, and we'll live forever

2186 - Space racing

The universe is almost infinite

It can't be truly infinite because

There may be other universes that

Could be infinite too, both in numbers

And size, and meanwhile the planets and stars

In our insignificant galaxy

Rush apart as we go through the light years

Thanks to that mysterious dark energy

That though invisible, beats gravity

And stretches space past the outer limits

Faster than light, if we can see far as

Thanks to Hubble we seem able to see

Though we feel separate, we're all part of it

All subject to the same natural laws
