when the earth cries
// 2011 //
.
Darkness post-dusk, in the night I visualize the stars: I wish upon each single one, occasionally on Mars. Way far away, deep in the vast skies, are the thoughts constantly rummaging and filtering through my mind. Look above past the bright cratered moon and often you’ll spot rain. Though my perception of this downfall isn’t ordinary, perhaps it’s even insane - These are tears shed around the world representing all of the Earth’s pain. All of the abuse, the heartbreak, the stress and the strain. Tears of the hungry and the lost, tears developed from endless fears, tears that streamed down the faces of our planet’s people throughout the years. Sometimes a poor start is given, and sometimes a poor end is made, but no matter what path brought the ending, the simple goal of surviving is still the same.
So please promise me the next time you see the stars gleaming through the rain, you’ll remember that this represents the people who have shined through all the pain.
