Moon Landing: Hoax or Real?

Did man land on the moon
or was the event faked in a studio
(As America's most expensive and famous
home video?)
And what difference will it make
should we ever discover the truth of it?

If faked, it certainly has the qualifies of a great show
but does this mean we no longer trust
Governments, news media, scientists, lobbyists
for deluding us? For lying and scheming?
Would that be new? Really?

But if it happened as they claim
(and a good video is worth a thousand lies)
that the men who returned from
some billion dollar jaunt in space
(purchased from the working poor
to enrich a gang of kleptocrats)
were the same men who left and
they really had moon dust on their mukluks,
then what? Does this fact
change anything? Change everything?

This is not a question of some accomplishment——
after all what came of it?
It's a question of trust. Not just any trust
but trust in the basic workings of the System.
And here's the thing:
we know they lie, cheat and steal
with every opportunity they create,
For 'they' it is who have their bloody hands
firmly gripping the gang-switches of power,
to turn on, and to turn off, at will and whim,
and we it is who must swallow their lies
(and of course pay for them).

So did what's their names
really walk on the moon,
or were we utterly and maliciously
"mooned" by con men and Capital Jokers?

Yo WindWalker12,

Didn't you ever "moon" anyone.

Hmmmmmm -
I am fraught with concern that you might be correct.
Then, where would I be?
All faith levelled on a single act, setting in motion our kaleidoscope of hope that we will one day travel out there.
Well, bummer.
Now today I must figure out how to reaffirm my faith in fundamental beliefs.

Thank you for sharing, I think.

I prefer to think of it as real. Not so much because of the accomplishment of "One small step for Man ~ One giant step for mankind", but because I don't like the idea of being duped!

~ Which, I have been far too many times!

Intriguing read and take on that 'first lunar landing'.

Love & Lunar Light,

Linda

I believe the 'landing' to have been real ...

but, so what? ...

what was the ultimate point of it
[that could justify the cost] ...

"And what difference will it make"

Having had the privilege and immense pleasure of meeting a couple of the moonwalkers, I believe the landings on the moon were real. Of course... I believed before I met those fine men. But conspiracy theorists and hoax-mongers will always have their say.

I agree with Linda on this one Wind Walker
It would just be too dissappointing to

believe otherwise. Although it was an interesting post. take care.
