His eyes reminded me of the stars,
so deep I swear I could see his heart.
He was full of light,
I was still trying to fight
the battle going on in my soul.
His voice a whisper of a lullaby,
mine was spilling lies,
but he was my ally.
I guess I will have to say goodbye,
because not every star I wish upon can enlighten me like a firefly.
I hear the tick of a clock letting me know every second I am wasting as I scroll through my phone,
the slide of my finger against the screen,
the tap of my thumb as I message someone back,
artificial noise.
Some where there is a child jumping in new puddles,
playing in the soft mud of the Earth,
full of joy.
Some where a child picks springs new dandelions,
blowing on the fluffy seeds to make wishes.
Pledge your life to liberty and justice,
raise your hand and take an oath to serve and protect,
who are you protecting though?
I watch the news and see agents hurting the innocent,
children,
