Today
A scrap of spacecraft
Collided with the moon.
Tides forgot to rise
Crops withered
Dung beetles cried
Menstrual cycles dried.
The Buck
Got passed from
Man
To
Man
To
Man
To
Man.
We don't own it
I mean who does?
Own the Moon
Intoned the men
Intoned the men
Intoned the men
In
Japan
Russia
Iran
Italy
Uruguay
Argentina
Israel
Netherlands
& Berlin.
A scrap of spacecraft
Made in China
Bought by
Australia
&
Launched in the U. S of A.
Collided with the moon.
Just Breaking
A scrap of spacecraft
Collided with the moon
Announced the newsreader
On the 6 o' clock news.
By 6.32pm
The Man In The Moon
Was so over the moon
So he moved
To a space not yet found
By all the other men.
Not yet anyway.
