The Woman On the Moon

The Woman On The Moon Standing on the moon She looks at the Earth Her black hair rests on her shoulders Her eyes are black as night She stares at the horizon Watching the Earth above Circling the star in an endless orbit So many people on that sphere She sits alone Do the people know what they do? She cannot talk She cannot scream to let them know Their planet is dying Maybe they don't know Maybe they don't care She cries without a sound Her tears freeze on the barren ground She watches that blue sphere Traveling across her sky And she is the only one who cares
