I Broke the 10th Commandment

Thou shalt not covet your neighbor
Do I know what that means?
For everyone around is a piece
of the puzzle that makes up me

But tonight as I look out my window
The heavens display a scene
that has no owner-just a Creater
This artisan behind this artistic display
Gave us an all access display.

Other nights I marvel
Sometimes I simply ponder
Tonight a sneer passes over these lips
Because a bitter weed has wrapped itself
Around the stem of beauty spreading overhead

For I look on the starry array 
With a cloud heavy and near.
Clarity: their primary characteristic.
Jealousy may be mine.
They belong to all-but I want the right
To learn the secrets of their decisive sight
What I wouldn't give to have their view. 

Thou shalt not covet your neighbor
God forgive me- I broke the 10th commandment
