Light Pollution

Too bright is this night, Turn off the light

Note the stars, What a beautiful sight.

We're polluting the sky

Not with toxic waste or gas,

But with mass.

Of light blocking our sight

No more constellations? What a fright.

So let's fix this issue,

Come back stars, We miss you.

Cut down on energy,

We can create great synergy,

Too bright is this night, Turn off the light.
