COLUMBIA'S PLIGHT OF FIRE

To the families and friends of Columbia's crew

With so much hope, dreams and aspirations
Columbia's crew of seven, lift off for the heavens,
On lift off, foam broke off from the massive tank
And unto the left wing, it sure did embank

So with man's knowledge they cautiously ascertained
That this broken foam could not possibly bring pain,
Thus, these caring and humble seven, reached their destination
It was magic and miracle in that glorious space-station

With so many experiments for the "better of mankind"
Columbia's return for so many, was anxious but sublime,
With a job well done, so much accomplished by these seven hands
They boarded the shuttle, and headed for this our promised land

But God's mysteries are sometimes difficult to discern
For it was not his "will" to this earth they return,
These precious lives, I believe, were our oblation
To the one who created and controls this vast creation

This tragedy, though sad, was a message to the Whitehouse oligarchy
To become humble in prayer and supplication, and stop their debauchery...
