Born
to live on Planet Earth
Born
to multiply by birth,
Rainbows,
dreams and re-creation.
As we
ponder,
As we
see our world in wonder,
And
explore each other's nation.
Why
then, reach for stars above,
Not
satisfied with what we have or are,
Those
brave, brave astronauts
Who
battle to make history.
Should
we be happy to leave
Alone
the mystery?
Why
the so determined race
To
beat each other into space,
Why
so urgent to explore
Never
is enough, always wanting more.
Is it
simply earth-mans' greed?
Perhaps
another pointless need.
Makes
one wonder does it not,
Why
not simply scrap the lot?
Pursue
instead to feed the poor,
How
wonderful to want, no more.
