Silver Surfer Status

by Ziad Assaad   Jan 13, 2015


My interstellar travel carries me across the galaxy,
From the Milky way to Proxima Centauri.
I search Outer Space surfing temporal anomalies,
Cruising worm holes as Half-Pipes,
Carving up the threads of life,
Leaving tears in Space and Time.
With jurisdiction over half the universe,
Vast expanses of space I have traversed.

I stopped by Mars to see the Rover,
Hit a shortcut through a Super Nova.
Made a Black Hole bending light, sent me back here.
Explosive implosions on the horizon,
Arising to the warmth of your sun on my skin.

Now atop Earth's Exosphere,
With a bird's eye view looking down at you,
I sit and watch destruction.
Entitlement and greed feeds on every resource.
I have no recourse, nor action to take.
If only I could mediate to mitigate mistakes you've made.
But The Prime Directive limits me,
Defining you as lesser beings.
A Human, even at its best,
Is left to fate.
Innately driven by its vices,
Devised of ignorance,
Divorced from what it cannot see.
Beyond what it believes,
An unexplored frontier awaits for creatures like me.
Even if only a vast expanse of nothing.
