The loss of faith

When Neil and Buzz stepped out on that lunar landscape
And conquered the moon for God and Country,
Buzz included a tiny communion cup and loaf
So that he might share the moment
With Christ and all his Presbyterian apostles.
But now I learn that Buzz has lost this connection
And flies solo now without the aid of the Heavenly host.
Which leads me to wonder what virus
He contracted when he stepped on the moon's surface
Or what vision he discovered when the wonder and awe
Of July 20, 1969 had passed us by.

It is sad, in a way, to consider
That when all the eyes of our home planet,
Blue, Green, Black, Brown and Hazel, were fixed upon his form
Bouncing happily across the extraterrestrial dirt of the moon,
He took time to connect with its Creator
And yet will not find the time today when he is earthbound,
More alone in this world, save for the lonely multitudes around him.
