Moon Ponders

I sit here, night after night, watching human children and I am so bored. They bicker and fight about everything. It’s the same old thing, never ending. When I shine my light upon some, they run and hide; no doubt guilty of something. I ponder how we of such intellect, birth such petty babies? Earth had so much going for her; such potential until she birthed humans in her womb...what went wrong? I try to shed light on it; to show the glitch, if I, Sister Moon can’t reveal it, perhaps my Brother Sun can? Oh well, every family has its problems but, one would think a family the size of mine and at our age would’ve progressed beyond them. When Sun awakens, I’ll ask him to look into the situation; he smiles through everything. Me, I ponder and watch the humiliating spectacle; I’m puzzled by those creatures.

I am puzzled by the same creatures, Moon. We should get together and compare notes. When I look at you tonight, I shall smile even bigger now.

Yes, compare notes; she is quite anxious to do so. Thanks.
