The Ballad of the Blue Moon

My blogger friend IHM posted this photo of the special moon on her blog.

This fantastically framed moon was photographed by IHM's husband in Delhi.

Super blue moons graced our skies on the 19th of March, 2011. The sort of things that have been happening on our Earth, I don't blame the Moon for trying to get closer to find out.

Endlessly
traveling around
like this
for donkey’s years,
powered
by the
Big Sun Boss.

Sometimes,
you take a
slight diversion,
for fun
and
to take a closer look;

An entire civilization
goes wild
clicking me,
pointing scopes at me,
and getting hyper
and drenched
in tides
of
superstition,
and
alarm.

I’ve been watching too,
and everything
is unchanged;
cheating,
corruption,
wars,
money,
politics,
lying,
violence.

No wonder I feel Blue.
