This is a story about a newborn star
Watching creation in awe
It saw light; darkness; vast seas; mountains high
Also, peace so fragile and war black as night

One fateful evening
When the star watched mother nature’s play
A young little slave girl
Begged for a wish so brave

She begged for mercy; forgiveness; life and to be saved
She asked if just one star could answer her prayer
The newborn star could not help itself from this calling
It fell from the heavens to grant her, her wish

The little slave girl, her prayer was now answered
A wish for her and her alone
The newborn star felt joy in its fall
It awaited her wish

She thought of freedom and happiness
Sadly, darkness gripped her heart
Her wish oh her wish
Was for flames to burn it all

The newborn star with regret in its heart
Granted a wish forged in flames
A world set on fire
Until nothing remained

The newborn star kept falling in sadness and despair
Then a continuation on the wish was proclaimed
“Now give life and peace, let it all start over
No more fighting; no more war.”

A world filled with bliss
Nothing was amiss
This was the end of a journey for our star
Delighted even though a world was set aflame
