Theme: Anger

How Does It Matter to Me?

Ice on the moon and life on the mars
Big bang or something else originated the universe
It is pre-biotic, chemical, biochemical evolution
That has preceded the species evolution
All this is the food for thought of the intellectuals.

I am the species which will be alive for
Sixty to seventy years maximum
Food, clothing and shelter are my requirements minimum
Fresh air to breathe, clean water to drink and enjoy food
And participate in reproducing activities,
Are my primary and preliminary needs.

Many do not seem to bother about this
How does it matter to me what happens in all the intellectual debates
When my minimum needs are not on the radar
Of the ‘aviation’ experts of the nations

Comment Thought-provoking lines, hence my comment: satisfaction of basic needs has always been and will always be the concern of our human species, which explains science, technology, and, believe it or not, the mission to Mars.
