The Sun and the Moon

When the sun sets
then the moon rises
You can see the same moon 
from London, Tokyo, Newyork……

When the moon disappears
then the sun light the world
you can see the same sun
from Paris, Atlanta, Toronto….

In a cloudy sky—
the moon seems to be moving
Though the moon is fixed
the cloud is moving
A great visual  illusion……..

The moon appears to be 
a rounded smoked bread
to a hungry African refugee
Though it seems to be the 
source of fine stories for the babies........

He pointed out the moon but all the fool saw was his finger!
