Storms of Global Warming send us to Space. <br />Storms of overpopulation...to Mars. <br />Humanity will settle strange planets... <br />Remembering their kind ran the gauntlet <br /> <br />Of Man versus Nature, and almost won <br />At a cost they were not prepared to pay. <br />An o-ring brought one Shuttle down, to sea... <br />Tiles claimed another. We are the Species <br /> <br />Whose Manifest Destiny is the stars. <br />Stop now...and we crawled on land for nothing. <br />Stop now...and our Earth will have Tomorrow <br />On terms we can't run from, trade, or borrow. <br /> <br />Remember this day...Endeavor's true worth... <br />A massive storm brought this Shuttle to Earth.<br /><br />elysabeth faslund<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/global-warming-sonnet/
