How soon we forget UNfrigginbelievable

Watery eyes of the last sighing seconds,
Blue reflections mute and dim.
Beckon tearful child of wonder.
To repentance of the sin.
And the blind and lusty lovers...
See More Of the great eternal lie
Go on believing nothing
Since something has to die.
And the ape’s curiosity --Money power wins,
And the yellow soft mountains move under him.
I’m with you LEM
Though it’s a shame that it had to be you.
The mother ship is just a blip from your trip made for two.
I’m with you boys, so please employ just a little extra care.
It’s on my mind, I’m left behind when I should have been there.
Walking with you.
And the limp face hungry viewers
Fight to fasten with their eyes
Like the man hung from the trapeze --Whose fall will satisfy.
And congratulate each other
On their rare and wondrous deed
That their begrudged money bought
To sow the monkey’s seed.
And the yellow soft mountains
They grow very still
Witness as intrusion the humanoid thrill.
I’m with you LEM
Though it’s a shame that it had to be you.
The mother ship is just a blip from your trip made for two.
I’m with you boys, so please employ just a little extra care.
It’s on my mind, I’m left behind when I should have been there.
Walking with you...with you...with you...

Does any know what this is?

Yes. It's a sign of someone having too much time on their hands.

Yesterday, July 20th was the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11. This song was a tribute to that achievement, in particular, Michael Collins. But did you see any mention on the news? All I got to see was Lindsay Lohan in her bright orange jumpsuit. (although it looked better than Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins in theirs)

Make that 41st anniversary

Haven't you heard? Chairman Odumbo has declared that we're no longer involved in, or interested in, anything to do with space exploration. All that money can be put to better use by funneling it down to blacks who will use it to get higher than any space craft we have.
