Analysis of Another Solar System



An almighty energy
must be laissez-faire
A mastermind creator must not really care

A friendlier galaxy
must have better claims
A pacifying planet must have peaceful games

An illuminating star
must escape black holes
An alluring gravity must permit paroles

A celestial place in space
must grant surrender
An ethereal region must favor splendor

Another solar system
must exist somewhere
A higher intelligence must be present there.
