Up in the sky

Darkness all around

The twinkle in the distant

A paradise we sought

But as the twinkle grows

Lower to the ground

My mind between the clouds

I see paradise naught

For some we treat cruel

While a few on pedestals

We are not human

as we lack the kind

Up in the sky

I see the twinkle of life

But the closer I get

Only the ugly survives

Up in the sky

In the metal plane

I recognize

The human agility

Up in the sky

I wish for better

But only up in the sky

I see my responsibility
