Fueled

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 thickness of black
and as it pierced
the heavy ceiling of the soil
and launched itself
up into outer space

no
one
even
clapped.
