Prayer For the Cosmic Coma Fix
The sky is in an apoplectic quandary why tonight
Earth is entirely too old to be on solid holy ground
Atmospheres confuse the colors in the air with reason
There is nothing to be seen there anyway, it's freezing
At this moment nitrogen lakes bubble up on Saturn
Ice columns form circles mirrored around the moons
Orchestrated heavenly rings that hang on mystic hope
Nightfall follows the pontiff around the alter light
In the Vatican clouds orbit in his head as fixed
While he blesses all the planets, even Mars
In communion with the cosmic coma gift
He even forgives strange Venus for its misgivings
Spinning retrograde against the laws of physics
Eight other planets can't be wrong rotating right
Holy Spirit come to hold our hands and planets
Help us understand the plan, the orbital holy land
We could be finished if we miss it
The cosmic logic escapes us by the minute
Please fix it
