The Error of Our Ways The heavens – Or, more accurately, the sky – Above the blessed and the damned May be a menace or a source of joy Depending on the view That those less fortunate Will dwell upon the dark Or that the lucky few Tend more to see the light Is often surely wrong Though sometimes true But worse or better, rich or poor, Sick or well, no doubt We err Who claim to hear from the celestial plight, Any particularly human song In tune or out ________________________________________________________________________ Emanuel E.
