The watcher

 


'Alas' said the moon shining down,

'I watched as a sea of men walked proud,

outfits loud, weapons held high,

to a battlefield somewhere in a distant sky.'

‘I watched’ she said,

‘I watched

as the day tore the sun

from their hearts

and the good from their smiles,

my eyes glistened

in the low light of the everlasting night

like the stars twinkling by my side

and I listened to their ferocious

chants calling out for blood.’

 

‘And I watched, it’s all I could do.

As their hatred grew, 

I saw the way they walked,

purposeful strides into death’

I wondered aloud ‘why?’

‘What has man done to man

to make this the reply?’

And I hid my eyes

as the missiles blistered my sky.

Night blinked into day,

the man-made fire set the air ablaze

hiding the screams

as the darkness fell silently

back into place.

 

Grinding my astral teeth,

I watched,

there was nothing more I could do.

In truth I wanted to move,

to be anywhere but here.

The scent of death filled the air.

If I could just ascend away

I would.

These eyes

have seen too much pain,

too much blood.

But I sat and watched,

what more could I do?

I am but a planetary object

after all. So, I sat and watched

as humanity met its downfall

and the tears glistening in my eyes,

like the twinkling stars by my side,

all started to fall.
