A Star

I need a better view...

I am just a star,

My name, ‘The Shining One’ on earth.

Even though so many light years away from the planet,

It’s too clear when I look down.

There are wars, killings & hatred’

Amongst their own kind.

Just because of land, customs or rights.

I don’t see any difference,

In one person or the other.

Maybe its something in their hearts that differs.

They are so cruel,

It makes me so sad.

It makes me want to shoot down towards the planet,

Destroying the earth.

But that’ll make me like them,

Which I don’t want to be.

 

But I still look down,

To see the binds of love,

Of a mother to her child,

Or a husband to his wife.

That’s the only thing that makes looking at earth bearable,

To see the way mankind loves.

For love they would die not kill.

So, it confuses me even more,

If they’re capable of so tender love,

Then why do they hate?

Why is they kill?

Can’t they just love?

And that too like no other

Unconditionally & irrevocably.

But I’m just a star.

I shine again as the night comes.

Scaring away the darkness with my light,

Wondering when will mankind shine their love strong enough to scare away the darkness of hatred forever…

Aw I love it. Although I have a few things to point out -_-
1. You should put "his" love for the love of his wife.
2. And also "why DO they kill" Would be better I think.

Other than that - it's lovely, it get a good sense of innocence from this and also the confusion is great :)
