If Stars Could See

"If stars could see,"

They'd say, we would know

Why we are here,

Why suffering continues,

And evil consumes humanity.

"If stars could see,"

They'd say, we would hear

The ancient testimonies

Of how civilizations came to be

And true intentions of authority.

Whether for good or ill,

The truth would be had.

"If stars could see,"

They'd say.

Yet the skies do not hold

The vast knowledge so desired.

These gastric lights have not sight

In divine intentions

Nor in historic realities. 

"Even if stars could see," 

I'd say, we would all still wonder

"Why he and not I?
