We Are Stars

We are stars.
We are seen in the pitch black, dull night sky.
We shine brightly and inspire others to become like us.
We are a lamp that radiates luminescence.
We light up a world of enshrouding darkness filled with hatred, death, pain and sadness.
We use love, joy, happiness, smiling minds and enjoyment in our light to penetrate the dangerous mist covering humanity and causing destruction over people.
If all stars to disappear or die,
We should learn to look at an empty sky.
We are snow in puddles of charcoal,
We are fireflies in the depths of the ocean,
We are rain in swarms of fire,
We bring peace in one motion.
That is why we need stars.
And that is why we are stars.
