Has mankind lost in 50 years
Its pursuit to lost frontiers
Whose traces in dust still remain
A human stain in time’s domain!

Was it its call all our fond recall
Of a triumph more political
Why that faith is now our fear
Which had led us to everywhere!

To reaffirm our cosmic creed
Will we step on that epic stone
To sow in faith’s farm fortitude’s seed
And not be left out all alone!

Will we make it our second home
A dazzling dream in space-time strewn
Discovery’s singular syndrome
Is well spent in Redeeming Moon!
