Explore Space Or Save Our Race Poem by The Original Tom Maxwell

Why is so much money, and time spent to explore planets,
so far away, and not much to prevent disasters,
on the one, where we stay.

Hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, and wild fires, are on our planet,
near, and far, and billions of dollars, spent,
to see if there is water on Mars.

So many resources, and hours are spent,
to find a hole in space, not as much input to secure our planet,
and protect, the human race.

Those in charge of space programs, have answers, why,
it's just hard to understand, a moon rock, is more important,
then letting, more of our own die.
