Poem

I based this rhyme on a short story by Arthur C Clarke ...

That star that shone bright in the East
on which the Magi's eyes did feast
What was it that was really seen
Perhaps a supernova it may have been

And if that distant dying sun
which signified a life begun
had a planet just like Terra
Could God have made a tragic error?

And did He even realise
despite His omnipresent eyes
that life existed on that world
Surely He watched as it unfurled

Why did He let life start at all
when He knew that it would fall
A billion years of evolution
wasted, 'coz of His 'solution'

Perhaps a lifeform existed there
A noble species, tall and fair
A species without war and strife
Intelligent and long of life

Surely another star would do
Our galaxy has quite a few
Why choose that star from all the sky
to briefly flare and then to die

Ten billion souls were sacrificed
A beacon for the birth of Christ
To wipe them from the firmament
was that really His intent?

So when He caused that star to blow
did He really never know
that He wiped life from that place
just to 'save' the human race
