Star light why so bright? you're not a star but a satellite You hover around like a drone, but not a drone who is owned I stare up into the dark night, my focus has shifted somethings not right, fuzzy haze in the twilight A hood covers its glowing eyes It hovers in invisible disguise Concentrate not on the orb surrounding it lights absorbed Once it's seen you can't unsee you wish it were just a dream Transparent is its shape and form Is it alive or never born? Like a wraith one of the undead watching you from overhead Will, it benefit mankind on its way, or unveil itself on Judgment day?

Glad you like it. On a cloudless night with no other light in the sky but stars, drones and satellites, step outside and look at one of the satellites (the moving ones) and if you shift focus just a bit you will see a haze surrounding it almost like a invisible visible forcefield - tell me what shape you see an outline of that is surrounding the light - this will make a lot of sense afterwards.
