The dance of the planets drift into view
Arrayed with colours of differing hue.
Swaying with elegance moving with grace,
Telescope peering has brought, face to face,
Such impressive masses from light years away.
Impossible beauty appearing to say
If earth shines as these do, and doubtless does,
When seen from space, its bright dazzle reproves.
Earth's careless inhabitants, too blind to see
The incredible gift in its own beauty,
Watch as fierce burnt out stars sparkle last strength.
Neglect of earth has but induced every length
Of resistance, and it will sadly, one day
Succumb to abuse, with consequent rage.
The pictures of stars performing in space
Are wondrous, and urge us to end the race
For wealth domination, and look up above.
Then turn to the earth which is rich indeed
Impossible beauty is here, lets take heed.
