Maybe Not....

Within your lifetime will, perhaps,
As souvenirs from distant suns
Be carried back to earth some maps
Of planets and you'll find that one's
So hard to color that you've got
To use five crayons. Maybe, not.

An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy to be called an idea at all. ~Elbert Hubbard
