The sky was black and starless
So many light's were on it looked like day
I tried not to breathe too deep
As I knew the nauseating smell that awaited
I was just a kid
I never asked for any of this to happen
Yet my words were pushed aside
Uncared for
Now the seas are black
The fish are gone
There are no more stars
I was just a kid
I wanted to laugh, to roll down hills, to shriek , to cry, to fall in love
As I sat on my window ledge
More tears fell onto my already wet hands
I cried for the starved children lying buried beneath the ground
I cried for the love we humans had lost
I cried for the Earth who had been a victim of our cruel naivety and greed
Standing up on my window ledge
I wiped my eyes
And saw, for the last time,
The night sky
As I stepped forward and fell
I swore I saw the real stars
Just once
