*****
How can the Moon be so blue
To teary eyed onlookers
How can that face look so sad
On our golden beamed Moon
How can she shadow the sunlight
At midnight, from Kuala Lumpur
Why must her sorrow engulf us
From a place far away, yet so near
How does this Moon have such power
To shape our faces with sorrow
We know in our hearts she will shine again
When she wakes up free, tomorrow…
****

That's exactly the way I felt last night when I posted my question. The miracle of the Internet has brought us so close together; in a second we're speaking with people all over the world, so the sorrow of another "from a place far away, yet so near," can easily engulf us. But so can her joy. I look forward to tomorrow; I need to feel joy again.

Hi. Very powerful words, sad, and touching. Death inspires as the moon turns red, thoughts of peace dissolve. Shattered by the evilness, within society's soul. It is love, not time, that heals all wounds, what auguries pride and ambition ? soon or late death will take us in tow, each bullet has got it's commission, and when our time come we must go.

For me is hard to express my feelings in English, but I want to tell you that I really liked your poem, specially the lines in which you say "How does this Moon have such power...to shape our faces with sorrow".
Thanks for sharing.
