What the Stars said to the Humans on Earth

Inspired by Clint Smith’s “what the ocean said to the black boy”

We are only seen in the night sky

disappearing in the daylight

Sun covering our lights

But we come back during the night

shining really bright.

We might look different

shapes

from big to small

Varying from the colors

Red,

Blue,

White.

But you need to know

we are beauty for the sky

bringing light

for the dark night

showing ourselves and our colors

working together

for this night sky.

But you?

What did you do

with your beauty?

What did you do

for your night sky?

Did you work together,

to change the day into the night?

You’re just tearing the sky apart

destroying one another

dissolving the night sky away

submitting to the darkness

in exchange for your light.
