The Search of Civilization
by Michael Doyle

Earth's civilizations
Reach into space
In the search 
For new life 
That we can embrace
Until with devastation
And with waste
We have, as we will,
As we have always find
As we have always found
Another peaceful civilization
To
Wear
Down...
Into tatters and discard
In the name of manifested destiny
