Dark Side of the Moon

Every child knows the moon has a face that looks down kindly on the human race. But can anyone ever calm the screams of the frightened child who constantly dreams of the demon face that's never shewn on the dark side of that self-same moon?

You can see why the moon always shows his, no, I guess it's her, good side to the earth. Seriously, it's kind of weird when you think of it, that since ancient time, nobody saw the dark side of the moon, even after having good telescopes to get a good look at the front. I guess it was the 1960s before the sent a spaceship to get a look at the other side.

Edgier than your last moon poem. I hear they be gremlins on the dark side. Yipe!

I saw a headline this morning, which I just now looked up (can't say that I read the article): "Classified CIA project claimed to have discovered alien civilization on dark side of the moon". I don't recall from which esteemed new organization this was from. I think that's what triggered this latest exploration of the moons dark side - lol.
