Child of the moon
From: Fragments of Philosophy

If I could be anything,
I’d probably be the moon,
An outsider to humanity,
Knowing it was doomed.
But I’d never say a single word;
I’d just look on in awe
At all the disasters that you create
And the warnings you ignore.
You destroy the world around yourselves
And then blame one another.
You’ve made mistakes; make no mistake,
Don’t blame any other.
You’ve taken every resource
That she ever had to give
And used it for your power and greed,
Started every war with!
You kill things deemed beneath you
To fuel your power and greed.
No one’s left but you to blame
For sowing the devil’s seed.
So don’t look up to God for help,
Because there is only me—
The moon who’s seen your treacheries,
So please just leave me be…

I strive to make sense of the world through writing. I break it apart, twist it, and bend it until it reflects new light. I invite you to see the world cast through my written stained-glass windows.
