Sometimes I just look at the stars and wonder
Do I have what it takes to make a difference?
Can I go far beyond my eye sight?
Or would I be held back till I have fully paid my penance
You ever feel you are destined for greatness?
Can't seem to shake off the feeling, can you?
It's like you feel you are as small as my pencil
And yet you are used to sign peace tributes.
We are in a world where little kindness can't be seen
It is like looking for an elephant using microscopy
Good is done for two reasons
To be praised and to receive global awards
Let's think of it, let's put our mind to test
Do we really need an award for being Human?
Or maybe it is because we are slowly dehumanising?
And so with the stars, I think
Maybe that's the missing link
I just want to carve the word "goodness" abroad
Right in the chest of whoever I come across
21st century, what a time
Undoing all the swift moral advances of ancestors past
Good deeds never make the front page
Nobody knows you till you are hugged by the grave.

I drain my thoughts through my pen. That's the only way I breathe.
