Man had revolutionized and from it, gained a deadly technology that enabled them to shoot down stars. The very first time they aimed their deadly weapon at the vast sky, they lured in a precious catch; a living star.

As men are, they poke and prod at every new discovery and unveil everything there is to know about it. Their tiny minds crave knowledge. To get more and more and more. Always more.

 

They dissected the living star and eventually found her heart. Because of what  they found that fateful day, man has never stopped shooting us down ever since.

Men kidnaped and killed as many living stars as they could to gain wealth, to be rich. Our hearts were prized like tiger skins or elephant tusks. only much more so. To them, we were just a game to see who could be the one who had the most and they shot us down like dropping passenger pigeons that blacked out the sun to seem it were night. Like running buffalo off jumps for their fabulous fur. But, we are unlike buffalo. We are much more precious. So much more precious that men would dare to take innocent daughters as they were among the stardust gardens picking star flowers or our elderly from their thrones in their galaxies, and even the force keepers, the ones who busy their days tending to the nebula’s rotation while strictly keeping to the laws of physics. They, those lust filled men and their devilish desires taking whomever they pleased.

They have no fear in cutting our alabaster skin or ripping open our chests to expose our rib cages; just to plunged their impure hands into our mist like flesh. To grasp our living hearts made of pearls of innocence, emeralds of royalty, and diamonds of determination. Just to have more and more and more. Man will never cease to want, to have and to take.

One day there will be no more living stars among the galaxies. One day there will be no more living stars among the universe because man wanted to have more and more and more.

To escape the brutality of man, we are choosing hide our hearts. To avoid being contaminated by their filthy hands which asphyxiated our people, we are turning our hearts to ashes. To erase our existence so man will eventually forget about us.

 

We are choosing to die.

 

So today, there are no more living stars among the universe.
