Moon Shot (10.8.9)

Moon Shot (10.8.9)

We gazed at the sky
In the morning after light
It was day and it was night
On Earth
And we saw a giant plume
Was it beauty or was it doom
6 miles high
The Lunar dirt
And it began to rain
My God how we have changed

You don't know what you're doing
Don't say that you do.
You're Lunatics because you're
Shooting at the Moon.
One small step and we could fall,
One giant leap could kill us all...

And Louis Armstrong's Song
The Lyrics right but something's wrong
Hummed and whistled, sang along
It's true
And Neil Armstrong's Step
That nobody could forget
On the Moon or on a set
Still moved.
Both reminded us we're One
Zarathustra spake all tongues

You don't know what you're doing
Don't say that you do.
You're Lunatics because you're
Shooting at the Moon.
One small step and we could fall,
One giant leap could kill us all...

And if catastrophe
Should the outcome be
And the Moon should spit
How would you fix it?

And all this time still rain
Couldn't see the Sun for days
And the drops were very strange
So grey.
And when the storm had cleared
it left a dusty atmosphere
It settled and the sun appeared
through haze
The rain came from the dust
That the Moon had sent to us
And an E.T. Mother-ship
Sent a bot to take the hit
Just go watch "The Time Machine"
And you'll see what could've been...

You don't know what you're doing
Don't say that you do.
You're Lunatics because you're
Shooting at the Moon.
One small step and we could fall,
One giant leap could kill us all...

Some beautiful imagery that would be a horrid reality.
"The Time Machine" Look at the Moon

And for some balance and another kind of beauty: A piece by Costa Avgoustinos for one of my fave rave songs by The Church, "Under The Milky Way" Remix, Craig Obey
