The moon is still dark, it’s going to be a tough battle. It might just be our last stand.
My men are not in their best state. I don’t blame them, we have been fighting battles for the last week, without respite, losing them all. We have seen our brothers decimated right before our eyes by the horrors that approach us now. The castle behind us is our last stronghold, and this bridge is our last line of defence. I see my men taking cover behind sandbags.
The foul beasts have advanced far enough. Fight Men, to our last breath…

The moon is still dark
To look at from where I see it.
Or did something ominous
Cast it’s evil shadow on it?
Once upon a time
Life thrived
Winds blew apart lofty clouds
As the waters gushed below.
Such was the environment
Before the dark story began
Before things started disappearing
Before the moon was left barren.
But now
The moon is still dark
It’s been so
Since the past few hundred years.
Is this going to be
The same story
For our beloved planet Earth
Would you let it happen?
Would Earth not face
The same plight as the moon
If we carelessly carry on
With our reckless habits?
Thank you for reading.
Have a nice day!
The moon is still dark…
Or rather, one of the sides is in dark..
But we get to see that dark face of moon as it rotates..
Both sides have their day in Sun..
I wonder, if we can say the same thing about humans..
