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
