Blue Origin In Space

A redux of Gil-Scott Heron's classic poem: Whitey On The Moon.

Whitey done shot up another school

With Blue Origin In Space.

No one cares, only thoughts and prayers

And Blue Origin’s In Space.

Have to pay for a good education

But Blue Origin’s In Space.

Ten years from now I’ll be payin still

While Blue Origin’s In Space.

You know, Trump just upped the price of eggs

Cause Blue Origin’s In Space.

Ignoring court orders to stop deportations

But Blue Origin’s In Space.

Am I one missed check away from poverty

Cause Blue Origin’s In Space?

Folks get paid a 7.25 wage

And now Blue Origin’s In Space?

Gaza gettin bombed by an apartheid state

Rwanda killin the Congo, look at their death rate

Emissions goin up for this publicity stunt,

And as if all that crap wasn’t enough,

Whitey done shot up another school

With Blue Origin In Space.

No one cares, only thoughts and prayers

And Blue Origin’s In Space.

Can we not get reparations,

Cause Blue Origin’s In Space?

No universal healthcare,

Cause Blue Origin’s In Space?

Now more than ever, eat the rich seems clever,

Cause Blue Origin’s In Space.

I think I'll send these bills and working-class fills,

Airmail special,

To Blue Origin In Space.
