7 Billion Stars

One in 7 billion stars is still a star ,

It still shines and twinkles in the night sky

Sometimes gliding  across the milky  way ,

Sparkling the wonder in the eyes of  the little boy ,

Who chanced to be looking that way.

One in 7 billion men and women is still a human ,

With a life that can rise , shine and twinkle ,

Who Someday might find a  new path a   new thought ,

Inspiring the minds of young men and women

Who will choose to  follow him aboard his  boat.

Then why we  kill these millions of  stars ,

Before they can rise and shine in time  ,

Left for dead they are just a number ,

Sometimes collateral damage

sometimes unfortunate event .

Few thousand devils in 8 billion humans   ,

The rich and famous with power and  greed

Drinking their wines , bragging and laughing

While the little stars die

And their mothers weep .

8 billion Minds and still no answer ,

Why there is misery why there is  war ,

Civilizations never learned to be civil ,

They love to  fight and kill ,

They love the blood and  gore.
