What will be bring to the heavens
with the sciences of our species
exploring the vast cosmic seas?
Will we bring our human proclivities,
the dark and light of vices and virtues,
versions of God in religions we choose,
‘divine right’ and ‘might is right’
philosophies, commands for exploitation,
violent aggression and domination,
current moralities, hierarchical views?
Will we bring our spiritual tendencies,
compassion, kindness and caring,
curiosity, courage and daring,
expanding awareness, evolving visions
of Life and of who we are?
Will we be just like the other gods
exploring Life among the stars?
