CITY LIGHTS

by David Knape

With all the city lights
our sky is sorely blurred
we cannot see the night
its stars and galaxies obscured

For all our worldly light
we have become too blind to see
the sky is not as bright
as it used to be

What happened to the sky
where we could see afar
what's become of that good night
where we could wish upon a star

Now we are compromised
our only sky filled with debris
forever marred by city lights
its starry nights only a memory.
