Fueled

a poem by Marcie Hans

Fueled
by a million
man-made
wings of fire -
the rocket tore a tunnel
through the sky -
and everybody cheered.

Fueled
only by a thought from God -
the seedling
urged its way
through the thicknesses of black -
and as it pierced
the heavy ceiling of the soil -
and launched itself
up into outer space -
no
one
even
clapped.
