Habitable Zones

I have looked towards a million worlds tonight,

fearful that there might be more like ours,

where despair and anger rage and reign,

hiding between hollows and sea slapped shores.

 

Land lust.

Territorial.

Imperial.

 

From lizards to lesser beasts and higher mortals,

there is an extreme decadence in achieving life;

primordial slime where time is irrelevant

and chance, they say, defies the odds of a God.

 

Needs must

Territorial

Ethereal

 

Exploring to exploit and crudely anoint

another New World is the genome dynamic.

This surpasses mere survival and squats

with dictatorial ardour in the heart of our universe.
