moon landing

i read where they want to
put
a colony of men
of mars,
or go back to the moon.
why?
we have rocks here.
plenty of them.
why go where there is no air,
no food, no
water, no
shelter?
why not cure cancer first?
or help
the elderly,
take care of the orphans,
the invalids,
the disabled?
why not solve one single
thing down here?
and quit looking to the stars
for answers.
look in to the eyes
of those who
need help first. that's
the moon landing
we should
be worried about.
