  • Carl Sagan

    Carl Sagan

    Hitler came to power a year before
    Carl born nineteen thirty four.
    Brooklyn. New York place of birth
    reformed Jews for what its worth.

    His mother known great poverty
    put down, ignored, inequality.
    Father escaped the Ukraine Pogrom
    mild mannered with great aplomb.

    Carl an inquisitive child
    five years old stirred beguiled.
    Dinosaurs, stars, space
    Universe a mysterious place.

    Read H.G.Wells, E.R.Burroughs,
    astrobiology his mind transposed.
    Amino acids affected by radiation
    astrophysics and so on.

    Television he set the pace.
    Cosmos a new view on space
    Five hundred million viewed
    star struck, awed, subdued.

    Made science popular world wide
    twenty books to enthral, guide.
    Nature not to kind at death
    cancer caused his last breath.

    Sagan on afterlife


    I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking.
    Carl Sagan.

    Back into the earth one way or another to re compost new growth. The Law Of Mother Nature.

      I'd like to come back 6 foot in the next life. 6 foot 2inch is too much, I'm sick of banging my head.
      I have always set myself a very low standard, and constantly fail to achieve it.
