Reach the Sky Bulletin Light Pollution Poem I look up to the sky. Not many stars to see. Warm night, wind is dry. Gazing up from a tree. Only a few stars visible tonight. Eerie sounds create confusion. Sky black with half-moon, an ordinary sight. Figuratively I remember the cause, light pollution. Even though I despise the common environmentalist, A century ago the sky was filled with moon and stars. When it comes to agenda I'm not much of a fundamentalist, But consideration must be made, for visible shall be Mars. I look out to the city on this warm, delightful eve. The buildings tall and glow, rise to the darkness spread. Such feat is amazing, it is not to be deceive. Saddens me that such wonder could affect my overhead.
