Wondering under the stars.

I lie here,

under the stars,

at the edge of a cliff,

wondering who we are.

Are we the kings and queens,

or are we the scourge?

Have we evolved into something,

something we shouldn’t be?

As I lie here,

under the stars,

I wonder,

I wonder who we are.

Love and hate,

peace and war,

if we learnt from our past,

we’d never have to question who we are.

As I lie here,

under the stars,

I wonder,

I wonder who we are.

All of a sudden,

an image forms among the stars,

the face of a girl,

whose energy has staked its place inside my heart.

As I lie here,

under the stars,

I cease to wonder,

wonder who we are.

The answer comes swift,

the answer comes true,

we are humans,

and love makes one out of two.

Jai ‘Zaiu’ Ranjit.
