The improper use of lighting is not only wasteful but has destroyed the beauty of the night.

The Beauty Of The Night
When I was young I would gaze up into the night and see a sky so dark and stars so bright.
I saw meteorites flash as they came to near. They were streaming stars in our atmosphere.
There was Jupiter, Venus and the red planet Mars, shining brilliantly among the stars.
The Milky Way glowed as it arched above, a beautiful scene for us all to love.
Many years have passed and I've grown old. It's sad, the story that's here to be told.
Streets and signs are ablaze with light. These steal the beauty from the night.
Now, when I gaze up at the sky, I see only a lonely moon passing by.
The rest of the heavens are just empty and drab.
The stars, the planets and the Milky Way have all disappeared and gone away.
But please, you must be aware, this beautiful scene is still up there.
Just flick off a switch, shield the light and bring back to us.
The beauty of the night
By Melvin I Taks
