The Blue Marble

Our Will Power is in Command

By Mark Stigers Published 5 months ago • 1 min read

On the blue marble

on which I live

It’s a world of take

it’s a world of give

Where you can fly

faster than sound

And the works of humans

are all around

Riding this world of modern man

Where our will power is in command

We are the Stewards

Of all we see

We live in space

and under the sea

When we grasped

the world of the atom

Made our limits

Real hard to fathom

Riding this world of modern man

Where we’re working to a grand plan

With big cities

that glow at night

We’re keeping up

The human fight

We’ve got micro chips

that think real fast

They calculate any

complex task

Riding the world of modern man

On earth is where we make our stand
