As the wheel turns, so turn we,
 Raging in captivity,
   Lost in space and all at sea
     Adrift upon this watery
       Blue planet for eternity;
           Turning, turning, endlessly:
As the wheel turns, so turn we.

Animals of dreams are we,
 Dreaming dark geometry;
   Alchemy will set us free
     Past our gaoler, gravity.
       Free to seed the galaxy;
           Turning, turning, endlessly:
As the wheel turns, so turn we.

I am not so sure we will find it that easy to ‘seed’ the galaxy’.  As with the so-called ‘New World’ 500 years ago, there are almost certainly existing claimants.  But that science will eventually deliver a method of achieving what now appears to be impossible, I have no doubt whatever.
