Moon//
Look there is a new moon in the sky!
Purple in colour but slightly smaller.
It just popped up out of nowhere,
Creating a mass hysteria.
It seems to be much farther than the old one,
Though it makes a more vibrant sight.
It has been 146 days,
And now we have clear picture of its surface.
An ordinary moon with lots of scars in its face.
Fears of aliens have been allayed,
As our probes did already land up there,
And has been transmitting continuous images.
The Purple moons moves slower than the old grey one.
It too has been waxing and waning since it first appeared.
Every 34th day, the 2 moons align their path with the sun and the earth,
Casting a massive lunar eclipse of sort.
It doesn't impact us much,
Except a mild throbbing pain in our hearts.
It lasts for only a few minutes.
Doctors just blame it to mass hysteria,
Rubbishing any conspiracy theories.
Today there is a total ellipse later.
We already have braced for the same by proactively taking some pain killers.
The two moons dance across the sky,
As the people below carry on with their mundane lives.
No body is complaining any more,
As we have adjusted to the new paradigm.
