Analysis of Sitting up a star
She was just sitting there
watching the globe below
and wandered what was happening
on this magnificent piece of work
Her orders were to inspect it
to see if there was damage done
because up there they were assuming
that the earth had been destroyed
What she found out was the opposite
as she looked upon mankind
what she saw was humans writing
as if their lives depend on it
Man and women everywhere
thinking, feeling sharing things
changing our planet in
a thrillingly cosy home
Soon she returned
to the place where the angels live
where she could happily describe
that earth will always exist
