The Unphased Moon
Glenn Syndal
The moon doesn't discriminate,
nor does it care
about the times we live in,
or the way we wear our hair.
The moon never changes its mind,
nor does it care how you dress,
or if you howl at it
while getting things off your chest
the moon doesn't need to know 'bout culture
and the fashion of the times
what music the kids are listening to
or if any of the lyrics rhyme.
No, the moon is, as it was
2000 years ago before civilization
it casts not a critical eye
over the wonders of human creation.
Stare at the moon, ye can
just as a poor beggar boy might
a hundred years ago in a dark London laneway
it cast him his only light.
The stillness of the evening
or the most frightening storm
phases the moon not
it shines its light without prejudice, without scorn.
