To Space And Back

The futility of imperfection found by experiment.

By Hoyt Douglas BattlesPublished 5 years ago 1 min read
sittin on top of a gas can......

We go there almost every day, in our minds we do. We always come back with something, interesting to say the least.

It doesn't take a spaceship, just a little imagination will do. It doesn't take all kinds of money, money that could be spent wisely.

We went to the moon and back and all we have to show for it is a bunch of rocks and good intentions. Some which will fuel our destiny.

We go to space to clean up the halls of heaven and other waiting areas. we leave cameras hanging around so we can look at other animistic visitors.

We hire the wrong people to run the gambit, and cry when we lose our argonauts. We must be crazy about it, because we keep leaving while some never make it back.
