Turn off the light
see no more Victoria burning bright
let us return to black as night
so we can see the stars again
Sun drowns them out by day
not by chance do we catch that ray
overhead is the Milky Way
part of the universe we find ourselves in
What if there was no light pollution
look at the heavens for a solution
find a universe with the same mutation
trillions of years away from where we begin
We can’t start over with another universe shapen
our sun will burn out before that can happen

The light pollution is a pain. Robs us of the beauty of the night.

Those stars and opportunities can be easily taken for granted. To start over would be wonderful. A thought-provoking sonnet.
