Snotty Mammon Athwart Mankind's Big Leap Poem by Erhard Hans Josef Lang

'One small step for man
One big leap for mankind! '
Pronounced our Earth's first moonwalker,
From the new lands of the Free,
Strong-armed hopping out in his unique astrosuit,
On the dusty loyal home planet
Nightlight satellite's surface of loosened gravity,
Far off in cold cosmic distant space,
Formerly never thought of as
Ever possible to achieve,

Millions and millions of our turtle heads down here
On the blue globe
Clapping their hands
Roaring with joy, while
Testifying to the great feat
All along the telemonitors.

'One big leap for mankind,
That but sadly only was to be
One very small step for one man? '

Today, decades now after the cosmic record,
It could
Be asked,

Since the big leap
For the whole kind of us
To jump ahead to new shores
As of now
Hasn't happened yet,
has it?

There's still the same old daily rations of
Misery news
All along the globe.
The suffering masses of the world
Still have to face
Highspeed inflation rates for the prices
Of their families' sheer survival,

Despite latest, most sophisticated
Communication ware programmings
And musical pleasures in the world
Formated after directional audio coding, and the like.

Snotty mammon only if done away with,
Mankind will get a real chance to make advances
Towards a more paradisical state of affairs
For all in life.

I am hopeful.
Why would a race that has brought about
So many hair-raising head-banging innovations,
Highly complicated in technology,
Not be able to come about with
A totally renewed, panvoluntaristic,
Demonetarisized economy,
The good luck of the many
Finally to arrive on the lush soil of
Our toilings out of happy self-realization? !
