‘Why are we leaving?’
Asked the little girl as she hid
behind her fathers leg. ‘This planets
sun is set to expire around any minute.
It’ll get really cold and dark, so we’ll have
to find another system. Honey I know you
liked this place, and I promise that I’ll find
us a better dwelling.’ Walking towards the
concave glass, she pressed her palm upon
its condensed surface. ‘But, this is our
home. This is all I ever knew.’
Eyes + Words 
This is all we ever knew too…

It’s very hard to risk leaving the security of what we have always ‘known’.

your poem sets up the situation well. reminds me a bit of the ray bradbury story set on a planet where it rains almost continually. i hope that this poem serves to help the growing awareness that we seem to have seriously messed up our dear home.

Distant star brand new space, hidden where we’ve not gone!
Common sense, go where nobody has gone, in deep sleep, trusting in a ship technology, waking you upon unknown or uncharted systems, leaving home, ifinn she came, she would home in a blink of an eye..
Why would i write this tell those whom, have kept 4 cars from me!

Forced away from the only home she’d ever known, how cruel the parents were, but, it’s, for the sake of their own survivals, so, it must be done!!!
