I remember my younger daze in Chicago I could see the stars at night. I guess I took it for granted. I knew the Big Dipper and Little Dipper and always looked for them and was always trying to learn new constellations. I loved looking up at the stars. As the years went by it was getting harder and harder to see the stars at night. At first I thought it was due to my vision problems but now know it is due to unnecessary light pollution. They make the street lights way too bright ...brighter than necessary and that blocks our view of the stars. All they have to do is use amber lighting and shield the lights. People have a right to see the stars. We need to stop light pollution. I miss the stars at night. Now all I can see is the moon. I suppose I am lucky to still be able to see that and occasionally when there is a nearby planet to the moon that looks like a star next to it is visible but I want to see the constellations. I want to see the Milky Way. We need to speak up about light pollution. Everyone deserves to see the stars at night.
JUST THINKING ABOUT HOW ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES AND YOU SHOULD ALWAYS FOLLOW YOUR INTUITION INSTEAD OF DO WHAT OTHERS TELL YOU TO DO. IT'S YOUR LIFE AND YOU LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES. I LOOK BACK WITH REGRET AT ALL THE TIMES I JUST TOOK A PRESCRIPTION BECAUSE A DOCTOR TOLD ME TO WITHOUT RESEARCHING IT MYSELF. YOU GO FOR HELP WITH A PROBLEM THEY GIVE YOU SOMETHING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO MAKE IT GO AWAY AND YOU END UP WITH MORE PROBLEMS AND THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM STILL NOT FIXED. THEN YOU TRY TO WARN OTHERS ABOUT IT SO THEY DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE YOU DID AND THEY DON'T LISTEN. I GUESS PEOPLE JUST NEED TO LEARN THE HARD WAY AND THEN IT'S TOO LATE...SUCH IS LIFE...LIVE AND LEARN.
The crossroads may make for an ideal outdoor ritual area, ceremonial grounds, especially by a tree, wherein litany from The Satanic Bible may be spoken, both as a formative initiation, Baptism, and subsequent rites of darkness.
We all have a dark side that contrasts with the light. I suppose opposites are necessary to compare but always strive towards the light...positive vibes,peace,love, higher vibrations....try to block out the negative dark stuff...that is the gist of this poem written a day early for the last day of #NationalPoetryMonth #NaPoMo #PoemADay #April2021 #Day30
