As we ascend to the starts
what will become of us all?
What will become of humanity?
What about me?
And the pets?
What of them?
Lovely fishes squishy dogs
lovely cats to pounce with claws.
Where will they go?
They go, where?
Questions that are deeper still,
what of all humanity?
We can't make ships for everyone.
There's just not enough metal and stuff.
As we ascend to the starts
what will become of us all?
What will become of humanity?
What about me?
Are they taking Senators?
Are they taking people that kill?
Who gets to go?
Who gets to go?
When we ascend, who will be free?
Surely not all of us.
Who gets selected?
Will it be the doctors,
or will it be those who fear
learning to do things with science skills?
Who gets to go?
Who gets to stay here?
Who gets to clean up
the great big mess
that we have left?
And the pets?
What of them?
Lovely fishes squishy dogs
lovely cats to pounce with claws.
Where will they go?
They go, where?
