Star Ship Colonizer
Created | Updated Mar 21, 2002
The captain was a funny bloke; he never knew his mother
For he was born in a plastic bag; A sperm doner was his father.
The ship was number 7 in a fleet of 7 ships, their load was mostly plastic bags kept alive with saline drips.
A robot brought a bag to life; every 20 years,
The captains life was short and lonely and he never left any heirs.
To colonise a planet was the purpose of the ship,
and this journey was to be the slowest
to give the others a head start.
Ship #1 carried bacteria to begin the transformation,
for the planet was but a rock and not a green plantation.
Ship #1 travelled at highest speed to arrive before the rest,
it would take 200 million years so the air would not kill the rest.
Ship #2 moved at half that speed distance was an asset,
for it carried crawly things and plants, so birds could one day nest.
Was this planet water or was this planet rock;
Ship #2 carried all things that may survive the initial shock.
Ship #3 carried dinosaurs and reptiles of every kind, and fishes
and worms and insects, to be food for others to find.
Ship #4 carried death so the world would not over populate,
All things "bad" like colds and flue for growth at a steady rate.
Nothing can be left to waste and also there were fungi,
to recycle remains not eaten and make a mushroom pie.
Ship #5 introduced mammals and marsupials and monotremes,
Apes and kangaroos and platapus, humourous and extreme.
Ship #6 spread flowers and seeds of every variety that may be,
Creating gardens of beauty and food aplenty on land and in the sea.
Ship #7 came in seven parts and delivered humans of every type,
there was black and red and white and yellow and tan and brown;
so every corner of the planet would be peopled, some to live in ice and snow some to live where nothing can grow, some to live where there is rain men that will eat only fish or meat, men that will eatfruit so sweet, in searing heat and desert dry, man will live in places high.
We don't know if some were lost, man that did not suit this place,
were they weak did they exist? did they disapear without a trace?
Ship #7 had to do one more thing,and that was to leave and come again, to wait a million years and then return to teach the people that they must, when the time was right to follow the trust that they would ensure life would be eternal
In every man there is a small part of the mind that stores in genes the blue print that would ensure that life was enternal. This is not trataught to us but it is there. A similie of this inherited knowledge exists in wild ducks that fly half way around the world and navigate to the same spot year in year out. On a much grander scale every man and woman has an instinctive drive to procreate and do better for their offspring there by taking man kind closer to the day when man will vel to the stars in search of a new home for life.
