Moon Man

I sit on the moon. 

While everyone is down on Earth. 

I look down upon them and watch their lives. 

I watch them fall in love. 

I watch them smile. 

I watch them run and laugh. 

And I watch their stories end. 

I watch them cheer with friends. 

I watch them weep and mourn for the dead. 

I watch them drink and celebrate. 

I watch them fight and scream. 

And I watch them destroy everything. 

I sit on the moon.

While everyone is down on Earth. 

I watch them live their lives. 

While I exist.
