Notes About The Poem

"There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's starman told us not to blow it"

Starman - David Bowie

Listen to poem:

Starman told us not to blow it

Hi all you earthlings! 
Starman here!
I'm back for the umpteenth time.
When will you ever learn?
When will you ever learn?
Where I come from we changed our ways
to adopt the common good by proxy.
Not to act when it's too late,
or almost too late,
in the tragedy of the commons.
Wars, climate change, pollution, heath and well-being,
you name it!
They all make Gaia weep and despair!
You'll all be gone before I can return again,
When will you ever learn?
Goodbye! 
Sayonara!
