Death of a star!

I watched the folks in a jewellery store,

gaping at the gold led before.

They smiled and awed at the shining gold, and wondered why.

Unaware, ignorant of the fact that it once shone brightly in the sky.

In order for us to live,

A star must die!

The sun, the moon, the planets and asteroids,

including  the earth where we reside.

Once shone brightly in the sky.

In order for us to live,

A star must die!

The air we breathe,

the water we drink,

the food we eat,

the clothes we wear,

the life we love,

and the death we fear,

it’s possible because it died.

The things we love each other for

to the gold we kill each other for,

once brightly shone in the sky.

In order for us to live,

a star must die!

A star that lived before us,

brightly shone in the sky.

It still shines brightly, as us,

now that it has died.

In order for us to live,

a star must die!

A star must die!

                                     
                                    A star in its final stage.
