i see a single sparkling star in the sky

something must have stolen the others


some might say its leading our way to bethlehem

i say its a symbol of some kind of optimism


***


others fail to relish in its natural beauty

blinded by the smog and deafened by forgotten conversations


***


yeah, something certainly stole the stars - london! you cunt!


you've made the moon blush itself black!

for the love of fuck! give our fucking stars back!
