I Could Have Sworn I Saw the Moon Blink

I could have sworn I saw the moon blink.
A devastating gesture, the heavens overlooking
Just a millisecond of the evil of this world.

I could of sworn God turned his head just at that moment
And justice was nowhere to be found.
I felt for the poor soul to look up and see God had shut his eye
To the horror, carnage, and hellfire that engulfs our world.
For such a brief moment, all people lost faith and hope
As they looked at the full moon and saw it quiver,
Shake, and vanish
Like a light bulb burning out.

I could have sworn the moon blinked,
But in my perspective, I realized the moon is but one eye,
And maybe God simply winked.

This is quite good, Caroline. Unique and fresh, you've avoided the usual, cliched perspective on such things.
