Too many children are dying
Children dying too soon
Yet while these children are dying
Men just fly off round the moon.
There's never enough money for research
Into cancer, a fatal disease,
But just mention the moon - they'll change their tune
They'll soon find that money with ease.
What's to be gained from these travels?
Has anyone come back with a cure?
It's a disgrace when money goes into space
It could be better spent on earth.
I feel quite sure. By E Crompton
