Face In The Moon

One day in June, if the facts are known,

or was it that the myths have grown

about you see what lay in the sky on

view to all 'till the day we die.

I mean the message drawn right across,

the purple-face where some alien being

dictated as the correct time and place,

to let us see how strong they were

before the invasion of what we all fear.

But the people laughed , some laughed

and cried because what they saw was a

dog, just like each one's mutt who had

only gone and died. But still the aliens

made a show, of the power of purple

that which makes our minds grow.

Ask any Hindu or Holy Man and watch

how his face set in a stare across the

sands, those sands of time change

and trickle in but he now asks if the

aliens come for blood to spill, thrill

or bend to their dog-brain, dogged will.

The End
