There are too many points for me to give the reason why you should not do some of this stuff, you can accept that it's not a good idea, figure out why it's not a good idea, or ignore the comments. Up to you.
--------------------------------------
I like the idea of you focusing more. Drop the science fiction and stay with the facts. This is just distracting:
"Existential thoughts drift through
The minds of all beings.
Dreams bouncing off the walls of spacecrafts,
Planets, satellites, stars and moons. "
--------------------------------------------------------
Stay away from the conjecture, even if it is rhetorical
"Have we come so far to let that happen?
Can we prevent it if we wanted to? "
What is the point of asking those questions. You need to think about why you are writing what you're writing.
--------------------------------------------
Stay away from the hypothetical:
"Perhaps a black hole will come along "
or perhaps it won't.
----------------------
Stay away from making Carl Sagen statements:
"Behold the universe!"
----------------------
The following is just an example, not a suggestion, but it gives you something to compare to what you have, and a way to examine the differences.
Void
The universe,
a black void expanding outward.
Black holes crush and tear celestial bodies:
scattering rock, ice, water, fire, gas,
flesh and blood?
Disintegrating everything.
We are reborn.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
