The Moon
September 1, 2009
How rash is our pride
To scorn the single orb
The light in ebony
Our cradle of diamonds
A namesake to each
Trampled upon by greed
Where no one has a right
To claim another world
A demonic plague of mining lords
Re-shaping what is forged
Establishing value to a priceless erne
For one dark night
When this great orb dies
What is the nameless owner to do
When it has no insurance policy?

I really enjoy the way this is written. The word choice creates good imagery and paints a vivid image in my mind.

This is absolutely beautiful; I love it!
No one can own the moon
A flag means nothing.
