POETRY: 'Space Race' By Kabriel Moorehead

Space Race
by Kabriel Moorehead

Somewhere in between gazing at stars
And having our feet squarely rooted to the earth
We became trapped in a galaxy of our own creation
Where love and war had become synonymous
With anguish and redemption
Where as we fell through time
Chasing memories of a ill cherished past
And running away from a uncertain future
We became haunted by our dreams
As every idea turned into a elm street sequence
Where we were surrounded by mirrors and still couldn't see
What we had become
How what had haunted us for so long had become us
And taken us to limits we had never imagined
And yet none of this mattered
Because sometimes the truth isn't good enough
What you see with your own two eyes isn't clear enough
And what you hear isn't loud enough
There are times when justice isn't just enough
And faith must show you the way home
