  • New filk: The Stars Our Destination

    Note: This piem has nothing to do with the Alfred Bester story "The
    Stars My Destination".

    Title: The Stars Our Destination

    The humans are a funny race
    With no specializations
    The humans are a scary race
    No limits to invasions
    It seems we always must expand
    Or else die in frustration
    And with the world full, here we stand
    The stars our destination

    We always look into the sky
    And at the constellations
    To get to them we'll always try
    For that is our fixation
    We'll suffer through what woes there be
    The hardships and starvation
    Already we have crossed the sea
    The stars our destination

    Our breed are nomads, through and through
    For good or for damnation
    We always yearn for somewhere new
    To guide our navigation
    Our frontiers never limit us
    We'll go throughout creation
    We won't stay settled; we'll roam, thus
    The stars are destinations

    Guessing a lyricist's opinions from his songs is as futile as
    guessing an author's opinions from his novels.
