See You On the Dark Side of the Moon
What's on the moon's darkest parched side
that spooky cool patch, for millennium ignored
perhaps manphibians sitting aside a moonfire
worshipping the sun and its quivers of fine gold-
Maybe there's nothing but clusters of cool stones
like the ones Neil gifted to us so many earths ago
I fancy this is where Syd Barrett came home to rest,
crazy diamond briefly sparkling in pop culture's nest-
Maybe its just time to leave this hermit moon alone
and tap our virgin prints into the red powder of mars
many millions of miles just to rocket booster our egos
or to remain in the shimmering grace of a goldilocks star-
but wasn't man fashioned to explore- to overtake
to forge great weapons and fill hectares with blood
spill carnage from his heart leave disease in his wake
till the masterpiece called earth melts into nuclear mud-
