We are the stars of this existence our light shines brighter than the stars in the heavens



I am

that I might be

shaken by our injustice


I live

that I might help

the people of our world awaken


to the lies

that stand

against us all


I cry

for those souls

who were cheated out of their time here


I can only love unconditionally

my joy exists in the hope

of what good is in store for humanity


I sleep

in silent longing

awaiting the day


when we realize

we are slaves to no one

we are as powerful as the stars

Yes, we are more powerful than we can imagine…!
I love the raw compassion you offer here,
and I appreciate what I observe to be a beautiful
spiritual undertone…
Perfect…


My best wishes,
Diana…✨

This is a good start, Pierre. Now join
forces with the few millions of us who are out and about
trying to make changes happen.

Your poem is filled with the goodness that humankind has at our command if only we use it. And we don't need the tremendous power of the stars to use the simple but powerful collective human kindness.
