Today burned out with an explosion
I viewed the flash from my spacecraft
This end kinder than a slow erosion
Continuation feels like a time draft
Saving the planet is so yesterday
Another matter in another dimension
Memories of what was fade away
Existence is beyond comprehension
Time and space can both proclaim
A wormhole to another place in time
Each different than which we came
When and where can turn on a dime
Planetary voyages depart every hour
Space traveling at five miles per second
Into the unknown and a meteor shower
Time itself is not what we reckoned
The past is behind us; we move on
Another solar system in a distant time
Arrived Yesterday at the break of dawn
To the sound of a harmonious chime
My dwelling on Yesterday is just that
Its not about being stuck in the past
Its about starting over as people begat
A planet for now where resources last
This periodic galaxy is a little confusing
When and where have the same name
Could be the time warp we are misusing
Earlier times are a different ballgame
Yesterday is a world from the past
Always preceding this time and space
With Tomorrow not far in the forecast
Another planet for the human race
Transportation changed our views
Forget electric; we use rocket fuel
No going green; we do as we choose
Our views are not all that unusual
Passing time through a black hole
Traveling back to the days of when
My soul searching for what time stole
Nothing existed, so it’s here we begin
A clean slate, a chance at redemption
We know better now than we did then
We will go in knowing every invention
What if our leaders can’t save us again
By traveling among the constellations
We came across many civilizations
Each one had a beginning and end
There wasn’t one I could recommend
The search continues for one like earth
Nothing compares in time or matter
Once it was gone, we realized its worth
Time punished us like the mad hatter
Speaking of time and the black hole
The supermassive continues to grow
Taking what gravitates towards its pull
Arrive in an instant, then time goes slow
Remember the government of Yesterday
A self inflicted shot, like Hemingway
They’re in the past, if we’re starting over
Not an annual thing, like a crimson clover
Onward to the government of Tomorrow
The it wasn’t over before we began it
New enough, they haven’t hit a plateau
Their rulings effect more than one planet
Forward to NOW, a planet without stars
A rogue world that formed on its own
Free from the galaxy, we know as ours
How long we have here is unbeknown
Leaving was never an overreaction
Time and space travel are a realization
Our outlook changed as did our action
Move onto the next with no termination
Asteroids collided with our universe
The final destruction after mankind
So much damage, no way to reverse
All who could leave, left it behind
I viewed the flash from my spacecraft
This end kinder than a slow erosion
Continuation feels like a time draft
Saving the planet is so yesterday
