Imagine Icarus in reverse: instead of an innocent horse
scratching its behind against a tree
while the hero flies too high
and goes down in flames into the sea

What if Icarus succeeds in his flight
and as he coasts to triumph,
behind him the farmer’s barn is burning

So Elon Musk is playing with space flight
using the money he took from the rest of us,
at this time when we the people
need every resource if we are to survive…

Such contempt for our little lives!
