Moon and Earth


Moon in all his fullness and mirth,
looked down upon a rather demure Earth,
And said:
“Yo Brother! Look at you – you are all colored
Blue and green and grey and brown and such.
And look at me – I am White..a beautiful white,
A pearl - a pearl that you can never touch.”

Earth just smiled and he sadly thought:
"He knows he is cursed but he knows not why.
God gave me life…
But he left him high and dry.”
