Written In the Stars

If you look at the written books you'll see the future clear as can be. Dreamers, writers, visionaries of the past could reveal the present before it was cast. Between the pages and the lines was the direction of all mankind. Nature falls back in fearful retreat as man foolishly experiments indiscrete. Where have we been, where are we going what lies ahead without our knowing? It's in the books, all openly revealed of God's power which we long to steal. Written in and on the stars where are we going, what are we doing, how far? The question is ever the same not can we but should we refrain? We are not gods, never meant to be only children still tempted by the knowledge tree.
