How do we get here to these

How do we get here to these
uncharted waters and narrow
paths need clearing for quantum
travel to resume  -  wonder is
bliss or ignorance is swollen
welcome to amerika 21C as
the slope we aspire leads
our flames of mercy to
lead forward en mass only
to grave misgivings of un-
fathomable consequences, we
can only endure uncharted waters.
