When man knew of no light
other than the stars at a distant sight,
man strived and found light on the soil,
disregarding any outstanding turmoil.
The man saw the vastness of the sky
and built fields, farms, nations and home
even if withstanding deceitful lies was at times a norm.
The man now looked up at the skies
which only held a handful of visible lights.
The want of space, emptiness and nothingness thus arised.
The poor skies thus offered everything it could,
Now where shall the man look to suffice the want for one's own good?
