Open Roof

It never scares anyone to live in open roof
The earth is a house but with open roof
We cover ourselves but wind blows off open roof
We rotate as if to fall off the surface of open roof
Some fly away to the top end the open roof
But the house holds us within its open roof 
Unsafe it is this house of open roof
Rains fall and dampen us through open roof
Sunshine comes and burns us through open roof
Scaring spirits come and see us through open roof
When we die we go away through open roof
Yet none knows what lives yonder the open roof
