There will come a day, when earth is no longer able to endure
To allow us all to grow, reproduce, to give life and let us exist
We'll exhaust her resources, her resilience and ability to share
Humanity consumes every resource, in a passion leading to fear
And our earth, however great, lush and able, is unable to persist
Far from earth we'll travel, and in the meantime we will prepare
We'll create new environments, stable, impermanent as we roam
Across a solar system creating hope to keep us until reaching home
“Man has gone out to explore other worlds and other civilizations
without having explored his own labyrinth of dark passages and
secret chambers, and without finding what lies behind doorways
that he himself has sealed.” Stanisław Lem
