About misdirected priorities
Wasted by Earthwriter
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


Recognized

Author Notes
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.
