Lost Among the Waste

Title: Lost Among the Waste

Beneath the vibrant cerulean sky,
A secret lies, cloaked in grave dismay.
Crucial rocket parts, now cast aside,
Whisper a grievous tale of decay.

Amongst discarded dreams they reside,
Paths once charted, now forgotten, astray.
A landfill swallows their noble pride,
Their purpose unfulfilled, led astray.

Oh, the peril that befalls their fate,
For a satellite mission hangs in strife.
Their absence, a void no one can abate,
Lost hopes trapped in the clutches of life.

Man’s progress, etched in those soulless mounds,
The wreckage of ambition ingrained.
As nature weeps, her lament resounds,
Must we expend our dreams to be sustained?

Crucial, rocket, landfill, imperiling, satellite, mission.
