The perception of the Moon by Humans has always been that there is a dark side of the moon. The side that never exposes itself for the earth to see. The fact is, there is no "Dark Side" of the Moon. Atleast, no different than Earth at Night.

The "Moon" represents the unknown people, cultures, or society's that are aparently alien to us. Seen from a distance, but actually closely related to what makes us what we are. The Unknown is judged and we all feel we're right because the "Moon" cannot be here to defend itself or correct our misconceptions. Alot like the way Non-Muslim's perceive Islam in the Middle East (as an example). ...All we see is a single side of the "Moon", but there's more to the Moon than just that side and it's not what we think it is. The moon is our Earth's brother. The Moon and Earth are in a sense, One and the Same, and could not exist without eachother. Only Time and Space has made them seem separate

"The moon you felt (felt = perception). It has no side that's dark like hell or safe from light

  • The side you don't see/know DOES get light from the Sun JUST LIKE OUR PLANET.. Just like Us)

"Just blown apart by wind from stars"

  • The Moon is what it is for a reason. It has gone through more than we realize. Though our lives are beautiful with green grass, blue skys, life; the Moon suffered through something it could not survive... Blown Apart by the radiation of our Sun.

"with white dust tides to pull on [Ours]"

  • Though seemingly dead, the Moon is a bringer of life alot like the Sun. It's gravitational pull lifts and stirs our water into tides that created a situation that mixed all forms of molecules and elements to create what we know as life. Ina way, the Moon is a parent of Earth's life (or like the Oldest Brother that helped raise the family). Working together with the Sun, Earth and the Universe. The "Moon" deserves love and respect just as much as Mother Earth.

The Moon is our Brother
