Water Highway to moon

Every where there is concern

Climate is becoming weird day by day

Countries are blaming each other

For the green house gas emissions

No one ready to accept their faults

Nor ready to come up with solutions

Everyone on street know the solution

But governments endorse economic growth

Over emission cuts that could bring down

The monster of global warming

Kyoto and Copenhagen

More summits will follow with same results

With negotiators stage-managing the drama

One day they will have to act

When they finally see their cities submersing

Now they fend off the Greenpeace activists

With the iron fist of law

But, one day there won’t be a place to hide

When thunderstorms, floods, droughts, tsunamis

Earthquakes come with vengeance

With the silent permission of Mother Nature

To reclaim her pride, marred by greed of humans  

We are experts in dumping all the wastes

Wherever possible on earth and space

It’s the time for us to think,

how to flush out the excess water from the oceans?

Before we are forced out from our homeland

To some hostile planets where we have to fight

Every moment with forces there to survive

Where we can’t walk nor breathe freely

Let’s build a water highway to the moon

Piercing channels through the space

Pumping out water molecules with escape velocity

And then pulling them towards the craters of moon

With the gravity

Then filling them with the virgin water from earth

We can use this water to feed ourselves

As we want to have colonies there

To launch our quest to conquer this universe

To find the aliens and other living organisms

We can recreate oceans at the barren lands in moon

We can even create artificial atmosphere

With water vapors and other gases

As we are experts

In emitting millions of cubic meters of dangerous gases

We can take space tourists to show them

The spectacular water high way for huge sums of money

May be someday people can undertake adventurous trips

On some space vehicles through that water highway

As long as we can keep the water level down in earth

Any amount spent on that highway is worth a punt

We can have tourists’ resorts in moon

Along the banks of this highway

With yatches lining up for luxury rides

On the water we find as junk on earth

We recreated every monument possible

May be we can recreate Venice on moon

As for humans, “nothing is impossible.”
