yes, I know
this might seem stupid.
but shouldn't we be
proud of people who read,
not skip through pages?
folding edges of novellas,
some wish for on their birthday.
look at the sky.
do you see darkness?
because what you should see is
history of millions and millions of
stars shining just for us,
for us.
look at the lamp.
why does it shine so dark?
do you want it to shine brightly,
like the sun you once missed?
