Wish upon a star

A boy asked his mother


If anyone had claimed the skies


'No my boy. No one owns them.'


'Good. Nothing so beautiful deserves to be captured


In anything but a picuture or a lyrical form.'


The mother shoot her five year old son an odd look


And wondered what on earth he could have meant


Laying in his bed that night the boy saw a shooting star


He wished upon it that no one


Would ever be held captive again
