no moons

there are no
more moon's to
land on, at least
in our lifetime.
and mars is too
far, too distant
and dangerous,
and what would
we do anyway once
we got there.
is it just to say,
we did. is that
good enough to
spend billions,
risk lives, while
so much of the
world is crumbling
like a cookie
in milk, right
before our eyes.
ah, but it's the
human spirit to
reach out, to explore.
to go where no
man's gone before.
insanity, i say.
