I Heard The News Today Oh Boy

I heard the news lately oh boy about a woman astronaut who passed away. She died at 61 what will it take for us to realize that history does go marching on? I woke up in a trance but no I did not dance or do a prance. The song from the Beatles races through my mind for those of you who grew up in that era and listened to the Beatles sing a song about a man who had figured out how many holes it took to fill the wall and a man who blew out his brains or whatever in a car wreck. Obviously investigative reporting is not what this blog is about but can I sing a song for those things that go wrong? This story captures my attention because her age was near my age I feel no rage I can only turn the page or shall I be more like an animal trapped in a cage with no where to go but into a maddening rage knowing death does stalk us like it or not?
