look! the light from all those systems
is billions of light years old
I savour each sweet photon
with arrays of beryllium and gold
but ask me if God had a hand in it all
hey! save it for the Pope
your big beard theory
is weird, sincerely
laughs the James Webb Deep Space Telescope

I’ll send you back the data
so you can analyse the gases
and clarify the pictures
of galaxies in their masses
but ask me why humans destroy their world
well – it’s WAY beyond my scope
all that stuff
is far too tough
sighs the James Webb Deep Space Telescope

I track each ancient target
to see how far they’ve roamed
as I sail my lonely orbit
a million miles from home
ask me to turn and evaluate Earth?
sorry, you haven’t a hope
there was plenty of time
to read the signs
cries the James Webb Deep Space Telescope
