for gods we carelessly may miss
in distant frightening nebulae.

Excellent poem. It starts out with a tremendous opening line- -an elegant set-up to every thought that follows. It seems like you're saying, in the last stanza, that the answers coming from the stars will be in the form of greater scientific knowledge.... Or are you saying that each individual who strives for the truth is a star? I like ambiguous endings. You poem has good structure and an important message, albeit one that's been said countless times before. Your poem works.
I am saying that a better world starts with you and me. It will not be found in technology or religion. In reality we are just dust and clay but we deny it and claim we are more. The poem says don't just claim it, be it, yes be a star, be more than dust and clay. Only man can solve our problems with values, compassion, love and hard work.
And thanks Brian for the comments.
