freestyle sonnet #2


(based on subject "Challenger explosion" by @TyrusBooks)

Earth-bound monkeys with nervous tinkering fingers
Thinking better of their future than history
Should allow; but collective memory lingers
Less than the promises of Gods of mystery
acting scientific suggest spirits lifted
into the Heavens beyond shall find paradise;
thus the monkeys most mechanically-gifted
build a snub-nosed flying pistol robot device,
fill it with our earth-bound hopes, and aim at the sky,
pull the trigger on our madness, to imagine
other-worldly futures as our creations fly;
yet lacking solid ground logic to examine
our humane limits, we burn up on re-entry,
plus continue this process each human cent’ry.
