Every man is a moon
With a dark side he doesn’t show
Any other earthly being
Who’d assuredly impugn
He keeps this cloudy face
Where it rightfully should wait
Toward obscurity
And pointing into empty space
Moon, Moon
With temperance unmatched
Which only patience can afford
The half that does not sleep
Can be placidly unlatched
Just as every human scheme
Breeds at length a pallor hue
In the face of Father Time
Glows dull as a cast moonbeam
Moon, Moon
While we live we think we know
What it is to plant a seed
And watch it bloom unto a tree
With which we shade what we can grow
But the moon does not possess
What it needs to sprout a leaf
Or to harbor living things
Like the man in his conquest
Moon, Moon
