Astralicus)
Europa, Europa,
Ocean of life,
Chemicals and volcanoes,
All churning inside.
We need to go
To Mars and beyond
To Jupiter's moon
And then farther yet,
Past Saturn's rings,
Past the comet cloud,
Past dear Sol's last feeble grasp,
Until the stars are ours
And the Universe our playground,
And Homo Astralicus
Stands upright on her scattered worlds,
Pointing to the sky
To show her children
Where Sol would be,
If the sky were darker
And the star far brighter
Than the yellow white orb
That gave us birth.
