NASA, not a sound addiction

Why spend billions on something
That’s lightyears away,
Instead of using it to dissolve
The global issues and scarcity
That’s troubling our days?

With your intelligence
Convert sea water into drinking water,
Nature is doing it all the time!
It takes waters from the salty seas, oceans,
From the sweet brooks and rivers
And gifts it to us as rains!
Think harder NASA,
Use your heart and your brain.

Acres of uninhabitable lands
On earth, lying to be used
If only we channelled you
To challenge the deserts
Of snows and sands
Make them soft and green,
Where lives could flourish and stand,
With the help of your erudite hand?

The moving stage is here to stay,
We could better the most beautiful
Ageless planet,
Than focusing on something
Vague, exorbitant
And far far far away.

Or is it the same mindset
That doesn’t acknowledge,
Nor thank the organs
Until they’re severed?
So you’re ready to have
The only home tonsured?
Other planets wouldn’t refuge,
They’d hardly be of any use
When the Star would stare at us
As a result of our abuse!

Respects to NASA!
But is the white elephant
Worth the pain?
When from the loving, living
Priceless ‘casa’
We still have much to gain.

Somebody had to be stupid enough to say it!
