Star boy

Star boy They say heaven gained another angel when someone dies But when it comes to the death of black lives We say the universe gained another star Because to us It represents their light and love Shining down from above Each star a story of loss Each star a story of pain Each star a symbol of what being black costs Each star has its own name A story of a new star gained An innocent black boy whose rights were taken away The right to live The right to be accepted They saw him as a threat to society And because of his skin his life ended in a tragedy He wasn't ready The weight this carried was heavy Filled with a melancholy love The star boy from above Looks down at his grief stricken mum He thinks she's the real victim She's the one who lost her son She no longer has any children He wants her to know he Is always with her A constant reminder of how he will be with her forever And he decides after all the years she looked after him He wanted to give her something special Better than money something infinite So at night as his mom was in bed Going over everything That happened He placed a kiss on her forehead He knew she had felt his presence By the smile on her face he knew she treasured this moment And knowing it brought her happiness He knew he could finally rest in peace
