CDXCIII - We Came With Hope

Sunday Whirl (Wordle #103) presents a list of words

that we must incorporate in a writing piece.  

The words this week are:  

merge, project, activate, technology, unity, mantra, 

smudge, sing, delicious, inquisitive, urge, stellar

We Came With Hope

Found on an unruled quarto sheet, 

tied to a brick, in low earth orbit.

We came with hope but found you young,

Not ready to join in.

You need a peaceful unity 

Before membership can begin.

The wider stellar network

Urge you work as one:

Be inquisitive, not aggressive,

Is the mantra of the sun.

The warlike pose that you project

Is a smudge upon your card;

All we ask is a civilised stance

And compliance isn’t hard.

To activate you membership

And merge into our ranks

Use technology for the common good

And make wind-chimes from your tanks.

Until the prospect of what we have

Is more delicious than bloodshed,

We’ll leave fighting futile fights,

Singing anthems to your dead.
