Selina Sees Our Misery. Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

The moon mistress of mystery
has observed mankind’s history.
For centuries and centuries.

Though she has seen it all before
Mankind’s love of making war
Against her rules which men ignore.

While trying to impose their will
on other men. They lack the skill
to come to terms and so they kill.

The goddess watches in despair.
Because her children do not dare
to show each other that they care.

All members of one family
and still they squabble endlessly
Instead of living peacefully.

In time perhaps they will mature
and change the course of their nature
She hopes but cannot be sure.

Because her children have free will.
And choose their way for good or ill.
The goddess waits and watches still.

A symbol of serenity
she waits and watches patiently.
Long suffering humanity.
