Premium Member Moon Defaced

Listen to poem:
'The Man in the Moon
Came down too soon,
defaced by space race
and telescoped stares.

The Moon face and myths unmasked
to reveal mere pockmarks and dark blotches.

What is more, Man on the Moon
has scarred the Moon's face forever 
with humanoid stares, enlightenment, 
footprints, flags, graffiti and junk.

For Heaven's sake, let it be.


Premium Member The Word Just Makes Things Worse

Long before the culture wars
  Life was calmer on these shores
Instead of magnifying 'racism'
  We telescoped 'outer-spacism'

Back then we knew the world wasn't perfect
   So many pock-marks of abject neglect
Troubling tendencies oft left unchecked
   Defects that we had to correct

Yet it sure seems toxic to label folks 'racist'
   Just makes things worse; not to our benefice
So why don't we think like incrementalists
   ~ Call our affliction 'racial prejudice'
