No Hard Ears

Is it just me?

Or do your ears literally feel

Like they harden a little when we don't want to hear something

Making it almost impossible to hear it

Because as the ears close

An inner monologue of fear (hate, distrust, anger; whathave you)

Sets in too 

And you're stuck

In your own version of the story

And not the complete story

In all it's messy-emotional entirety

NASA

Ok. So. I can admit to being fairly uninformed about this issue

And no one has asked for my opinion (oddly enough)

But I think NASA needs to be defunded

And that money needs to go to healthcare

We could theoretically

Provide free healthcare to every single citizen in the USA

With that money

And what do we need space exploration for exactly?

Unless the government is not only willing to admit to global warming

But to the extinction of earth

And the need for a new planet to be found

Then why keep funding it?

That has absolutely NO significance in my life



The money could be better served in protecting the environment

Saving the earth

Implementing sustainable energy into every aspect of American life

From cars to electricity

Even I can see the idiocy of funding into the BILLIONS of dollars

Something for all intents and purposes is practically useless

Keep the telescopes manned

Keep space exploration from the ground open

Coordinate with other countries if desired

For outer space sharing of data

Keep the scientist employed

But put that money into sectors that ACTUALLY improve

Most people's DAILY lives

I know. Crazy idea. Isn't it?
