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.”
