I/have read/a bit too much/ science fiction
And can accurately/predict/the course of man/ and machine
One giant/misstep/ for mankind/ to abandon space!
One small leap/for men/to continue/ their mischief!
A technophile’s/naivete/trumps an old spook’s/ manipulated fever dreams
Their nightmares: /the true wreckers/of civilization/ and a master plan
Laid out/who knows/ how long ago/ by mythical creatures
Traveling back/in time/from our best/ future imaginations
