Space Force
You really couldn’t make any of this up
What’s been happening just over The Pond
The orange man with the comb-over
Has announced they’re off to Mars And Beyond
The planets and stars are no longer safe
For I have it from a reliable source
They’d like to stop immigration by aliens
And they’re going to call it the Space Force
You might think it’s all Science Fiction
But it seems our human future’s sealed
For instead of peace and co-operation
They’ve already dubbed it The Next Battlefield
It’s not NASA but a military branch
They’re looking for control and conquest
Space traffic management of the best
Ordered up at their own behest
I thought it was just Trump having a jest
He couldn’t possibly be serious I’d guessed
But, no, this is no sort of test
He wants dominance for the West
Since mankind’s relatively recent birth
We’ve quickly made a mess of the Earth
Wasted resources, now there’s a dearth
Is that really all it’s worth?
Not content with buggering up this world
Committing global crimes that are heinous
They’re taking on the whole solar system
And one of the next steps is apparently Venus
Perhaps he’s been reading too many comics
And is worried about Little Green Men
Inter-galactic missiles and flying saucers
Invasion being not a matter of “if” but only of “when”
Perhaps he’s afraid when he’s sleeping at night
Perhaps he hears Martians rattling the locks
Maybe he dreams of wielding a light-sabre
To fight off the Klingons and Ewoks?
This is bonkers it’s apparent to me
Humanity working together is key
Not the Yanks dictating how it’ll be
I hope you’ll have to agree
They’re just taking the pee
In the so-called Land Of The Free
We can’t let them go over to the Dark Side
Nor go along with them just for the ride
Stick our heads in the sand and hide
We have to stand up to this warmongering tide
And let common sense be our guide
So space becomes not the Great Divide
We need exploration, scientific discovery
Making best use of whatever we find
Bringing benefits to all of humanity
Supporting the whole of mankind
Please let’s keep outer space neutral
Boldly going where no man has gone before
Our planet’s not The Final Frontier
Let’s not close that particular door
So never mind “Infinity and Beyond”
Let’s be sensible whatever we do
Thanks for listening to this rant
And “May The Force Be With You”
