Why not Earth?

Why not Earth?

Landing on Earth would be

so damn grand

just imagine the miracles

the dreams come true

landing on Earth!

Saving Chicago, Baltimore, Mississippi

so many lives in need

of simple roof over head, clean water

and Detroit could build cars again

instead of filling cemeteries.

What is to gain on the moon

and look at the litter being dumped

so by the time a single colony exists

greed has left footprints

just like Earth!

Why not Earth?

Leave the moon, the stars

all the other planets alone

take care of mankind here on Earth

funnel some funds towards peace

before it’s too late!
