According To the Constellations
The only stars that fall at night
Are those which cease to share their light
Their light was just for selfish sake
The glow they gave was bright but fake
And the constellations bear witness.
Stardust writes their epitaph
Across the changing cosmograph
Where only true and faithful stars
In chorus sing everlasting bars
As the constellations bear witness.
No proud or mediocre ear
Can discern what celestials hear
That cause their trumpets to blast the song
That tips the balance of stars gone wrong
Still the constellations bear witness.
