Not only the Ozone depletes
The sun’s vigor energizes
The earth delineates-
Discomfort and turmoil for its inhabitants
A shame-tear on the moon
Its nocturnal functions only for the loon
Technology makes people retire-in so soon
Alternative illuminators even contest with noon
Cry dear moon, for the scar
Man, really has been unfair, so far
Never considering your welfare, playing czar
Your African function, our children mar
Refer to the olden, when you looked golden
Those moon-light tales about my fairy maiden
So friendly with you, though, in the day unforgiving
Don’t frown, for our nights not blacken
Kctony Xtopher Nkwocha
