NASA, Not A Sound Addiction

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.
