Day 36: The Lark's Reply

Because Faux News is not the only place where "Fair and Balanced" is the motto. Only I actually mean it!

The Lark's Reply
By Batsheva 1/6/10

You silly Owl
We have no fear
Of you at all
Sit, have a beer

The problem here
Is that
At night
It's hard to see
And that's all right
Today with electricity
Night vision
Comes quite easily
But it's sheer insanity
To think electric's not
In the timeline of humanity
More than a tiny dot

For so many millennia
The sun was all we knew
As our light source
And so, of course,
Our dependence on it grew

Then yes, fears came
Not from some Lark
But what child isn't
Afraid of the dark?

The sun is warm
It serves all life
The night is cold
With danger rife

So it does make sense
As time marched on
That culture tilted
Toward the dawn

The bias isn't ours
For blame
It's nature's own
And that's a shame

We know it's not fair
But listen, Cuz,
There's no one who ever
Said life was.
