The Spoke And The Wheel

Trouble’s in town we’re going away
Take a look around we’re not going to stay
Upon this spinning ball this oasis in space it’s fleeting
But we can widen the posts we can change the song
We can bury the ghosts turn around every wrong
Halt the pain dry the tear stop the rot lose the fear and the bleating
So that all are free to send into the stars
Our art and poetry our love and thoughts past Mars
On out of sol into the deepest depths of Milky way it up there’s no option

We’re only here for as long as we feel
That we can re-invent the spoke and the wheel

But if we can’t achieve global liberty
With one for all to weave a noble tapestry
That could be worthy of us sowing our seeds beyond this earth well so be it
If distribution is locked inside political wrangling
And wealth and knowledge are blocked then we’re all guilty of strangling
Every last drop of hope from human mind kind and soul don’t you see it
The universe is vast life’s abundant all over
It’s not quatermass it’s mathematical order
Let’s hope there’s those who wove a better tapestry than we
Are free and who know it
