Wasted

Just a little ditty i wrote 3 years ago
Looking to the stars above
losing sight of the earth we love Seeking answers in outer space ignoring the problems of the human race Pressing on no matter what the cost millions wasted precious lives lost The answers we need are here on earth Buried in the planet of our birth Problems don't just go away hunger and pain are here to stay Lack of money is not at fault the government has resources in the vault At issue is where it's being spent forcing the Feds to account for every cent starving people and the homeless ignored Money wasted on destruction and war |

I happen to believe that although space exploration is necessary and important , spending money to help save our environment and our oceans should take precedent over finding why the martian oceans died.
