Lessons from outer space
O ye stars from far,
Out here we human kind are,
Where you’re I wonder.
So, I laid heart bare
With those starry strings to share,
But blank did they stare.
Clear let us cut this,
None whosoever we miss,
Stay blessed with your bliss.
And get rid of pride
That at world’s heart ye reside,
Stars from far decried.
We no guidance need,
Advice nor ever your creed,
Better you pay heed.
Do never enquire,
Nor for once say where you are,
Should ye wish go far.
And let me this share,
It’s time that you are aware,
No one here’s so rare,
No one at centre,
Stay within the safe tether
Of your mother star.
Ne’er reveal your place,
Life everywhere under stress
Looks for new address.
