The Invitation

We dearly wish that you would join, in time,
A future found unbound among the stars.
We realize this for you means quite a climb
From lunar foothills barely past the start.
We must remark it's strange that so complex
An animal as yours should live in hives.
Our scientists believe that this reflects
Potential genius living bounded lives.
Perhaps to reach the stars you must boycott
This self-sustaining, self-destructive course
If so, we'll find your kind and ours are not
So different as intrigued us at the first.

Despair that you can't make it now? Don't fear.
Just as you're stuck there, we are stuck here.
