From the Dark Side of the Moon

Nightfall in the city 
As the moon appears in the night sky 
City dwellers are either having a drink 
   or are off to dreamland
On the other side of the moon
Someone is waiting, waiting for the 
    earth to revolve again 
Can't you see we are being watched? 
Cold eyes from space
   peer out at 
the fragile inhabitants of our planet 
Our fate does not lie within our grasp
Soon the masters will reveal themselves
From the lunar landscape 
   comes our only hope 
   It is really a shot in the dark 
But it is our best chance of 
    humanity remaining on earth 
until the next millenium  rolls around

so are you saying we need to find a way to live on the moon or just keep it in our dreams? You always have such interesting thoughts. I sure envy you getting to see the broadway shows.

All will be fine and nothing will happen before its time for HE has foreseen everything! Yes, we have to wait till the eternal laws we learn to obey! Wonderful writing dear Matthew!
