Star Trek

The crystal ball was always cloudy,But the seer, like Moses, found a way through.Spock, Sulu, Scotty, Chekov,And of course, Uhura, bravely black,Diluted somewhat the American pioneersWarping their way to a smoke-free future.But however far they warped awayThey were never aliens –The fantastic figures on strange strondsPlayed that role in their native lands.And Captain Kirk, when he faced them downWith his moral truths or his phasers,Saved the day and the universeFor American exploration.
