I Was Here...

This is new land, untainted soil...
Waiting to be explored, be discovered...
Innumerable facets will, from underneath, be surfaced...
As you put in perseverance, sweat and toil...

To put the first foot down, on unmanned land...
At first, lifeless, it seemed very bland...
However, Man's task is to expand his horizons...
To identify and develop upon life-like conditions...

 Great achievement it is, to conquer the seemingly impossible...
To be able to recount the overpowering sense of accomplishment...
To prove to the World, indeed, Impossible is I'm Possible...
To take credit for a discovery, in the World scenario, prominent...

~~~

To the ones who set step after me...
Indeed...

'That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind...'

To not be overshadowed by a sense of over-confidence...
That of conquering the unconquerable, being invincible, Not...
For there are countless landmarks, out there, to achieve, hence...
Keep calm, it's the beginning of success, not only this thought...

Give in your best efforts, your best attempt...
To turn this place into an inhabitable one...
For, at the pace we are being tempt...
Our Earth is gradually being gone...

Lest you must forget, I must remind you...
Discover new avenues on the own, will seem at first, an insurmountable...
The one who is determined, is able to see the goal through...
But, once you achieve, what you must, for success, you'll be accountable...
