Here we go;
Just bombing the Moon
In our quest for knowledge;
Just bombing the Moon
Assuming it has no life;
Just bombing the Moon
Assuming it can’t feel pain;
Just bombing the Moon
Not knowing its all in vain;
Just bombing the Moon
Not realizing its significance;
Just bombing the Moon.

But then;
Just bombing the Moon
Tears me apart;
Just bombing the Moon
Sends a dagger thro’ my heart;
Just bombing the Moon
Makes me wince and cry;
Just bombing the Moon
Not realizing it is within;
Just bombing the Moon
All creative endeavour a killin';
Just bombing the Moon.

For little does Man know;
That the Moon lives within us.
Though we can’t prove or show;
The Moon within us.
Posted on HP in 2010 after hearing reports that NASA was bombing the Moon. It later turned out to be rumours.
