I’m nothing but a humble star.

I have stood by and watched for millions of years,

The way you humans get through your life

Never knowing how to tackle your fears,

You fill your void with battle and strife.

I do not speak to judge who you are,

You feel you are the pinnacle of evolution,

 While I’m nothing but a humble star.

I watched while you battled for survival.

I wept when you fought for ambition,

You wait for a miracle’s arrival,

Yet you choose to ignore corruption.

I see blasts, bloodshed, tears and war.

You have technology and science at your play,

And I’m nothing but a humble star.

You choose to discriminate on race, colour and creed,

It pains me to see all the suffering down there,

You’ve lost your kindness to corrosive greed

It gives me a sadness that I cannot bear.

And yet something gives me hope from afar,

I see a mother’s love for a child, a soldier’s love for his country,

I watch, I’m nothing but a humble star.
