NIGHT SOUNDS


Zephyr blew

Brushed my checks

Leaves rustling

Crickets chirping

Owl's hooting

Dogs barking

Cats meowing

Stars sending Morse Code

Glass of tea

Relaxing in outdoor air

Then all was quiet

Stillness of the night

Leaves drooping

Cats and dogs seeking shelter

Crickets hiding

Wind stops blowing

Temperature dropped

Barometer register no air pressure

Day turned into night

Storm of a century

Destruction, mayhem

Life changed forever

Welcome to climate change




BE STILL, BE STILL


Babies in ovens

Maybe they will stop

Be Still, Be Still

Torching people

Maybe they will stop

Be Still Be Still

Raping, burning

Maybe they will stop

Be still, Be Still

Taking hostages

Maybe they will stop

Be Still, Be Still

Fighting back, killing terriorists

Maybe they will stop

Be Still, Be Still

Only want peace, no cease fire

Maybe they will stop

Be Still, Be Still

Continue to attack, do not want peace

Will not stop

Be Still, Be Still

Killing hostages, using their people as shields

Will not stop

Be Still, Be Still

Death to America

Pro Palestine's protest

Free Palestine terrorist

Maybe they will stop

Be Still, Be Still

They will not stop

From sea to sea

Kill all infidels

They will not stop

No longer Be Still

Do Not Be Still




NIGHT SKY


Moon orbits the Earth

Surveys the sky

Stars, comets, meteorites

Having different phases

Full, half, quarter

Waxes and wans

Emitting light

New Moon

Discharges no light

At all

Night is pitch black

Moon at rest

Sleeping
