a poem about the universe and the unfailing stars
Oh darkened sky won't
The stars shine tonight?
They refuse to share their beauty
For the moon exploits their honest intentions.
It absorbs their brilliance
And gloats to the Wind.
Glorious melodies won't stream from the sky
Nor will resplendent apparitions.
Tonight the moon alone will shine
But it will soon die in its selfishness-
For plundering others and falsifying glory
Will only bring its demise.
The stars will brightly shine forever,
Yet the inconstant moon will fade away,
Lost in its self-satisfaction.
