Remembering Neil Armstrong

The coal and blackened hands.
Zero was the cardinal sin.
After the lunar walk, 
you flinch back in horror.

A gaint leap has ended 
in a coal tar pit. Are you 
sure we have landed 
at a right spot ?

Extraterrestrial. An immune 
disorder. Your autism 
was evolving into a 
monster of twisted brain.

Outside your home
dozens of bodies were found.
What were you doing 
when genocide started.
