The Other Side of the Moon

You won't 
be able 
      to turn 
away 
       from the bright shining 
   orb
it's gleam 
           illumintes 
the dark night
      yet we wonder
yes we wonder
      what's on the dark side of the moon
             Men have walked on this 
              orb
         which the 
poets and the ancients 
worshipped 
     In our struggle 
to be free
    of all we call
"superstition"
we have relegated 
     the moon to the realm of
science
   yet there is 
a "dark side of 
the moon"
       which is known 
to seers, bards
prophers and
               others
whose second sight
allows them to 
penetrate the 
mist enshrouded 
        mysteries
