Playground of the Gods

Playing hopscotch upon the stars
Planets stare in awe at the child
Capturing the universe in a jar

Lassoing moonbeams, future rays of hope
To illuminate all dark and dreary nights
So his creation finds a way to cope

With Pluto  in his slingshots aim
He slams it into Mars
Mixes dust in cosmic rain

Atoms collide from a sonic blast
The embryo shivers into a life
That will be destined to forever last

A spiralling meteor is defleted
A crater forms deep and wide
And a vast sea is ressurected

He strips Orion of his belt
And bands it round the atmosphere
Until gravity is felt

Breath of life
A second chance
Will they get it right this time?
