Ground Control to Major Tom
Do not look back – but keep flying on!
For WE have not been able to achieve
What you wanted US to do, and believe
Starvation keeps taking away. . .
Our young and old in dismay
Grim Reaper through war, is still taking myriad lives
Despite mothers protestations, and global outcries
As you fly towards that untouched by human hands, pristine, alien distant shore
Human life on planet Earth – is becoming cheaper and cheaper ever more
Greed’s insatiable, never ever satisfied appetite grand . . .
Is killing Earth’s inhabitants, destroying, and poisoning atmosphere and land
Earth’s politicians, keep telling US wonderful lies, as your ship traveling at the speed of light, keeps on searching . . .for those new less troubled skies
Humanity as a whole keeps losing its way
Abandoning old, well established principles, ancient traditions, that kept trouble at bay
Each crop of new leaders, keeps promising a future bright
But the preceding decades, centuries, remind US . . . . Constantly
. . . . . . Of troubles and fright
Major Tom, as your capsule searches for that distant, far away White Star . . .
WE, and the planet Earth, may no longer be here – for we have forgotten . . . as to who WE are?
Exploitation, slavery, injustice, hate – just seem the order of humanity’s . . . . . never ending long day
New Caliph’s are rising, claiming to be the Messiah – come what may!
The Earth is heating up, oceans are rising
Coal dust is forcibly taking our very last breath away
Keep on flying . . . Major Tom, and don’t look back . . . at this disarray!
Although things do look bleak, plans of our Creator are coming to their peak
Within them there is a wonderful hope, even for those who blindly grope
