Brightest Star

The brightest star in the sky
cannot compare to you my
darling, you are trapped in the horizons of this
feeble planet with an inability to extend
and adapt its atmospheres for the nurturing of the 
architectural structures of your bones
where vast emptiness is needed to place your thrones
and you sit in stagnancy and demand
to create monuments and hail tourist attractions
all the while, being the largest distraction
for the ulterior motives of these
beautiful corporate buildings
lie in the roots of their concrete foundations
and the founders, beautiful corporate men 
in their immaculately pressed suits and
shoes that cost more than what I could afford if 
I sold my soul in a narrow back alleyway to the devil
dressed up in a tie and suit with a briefcase to
hold
and imprison the souls of these
narrow minded consumers that think they have
control over the products they buy to feed their 
materialistic hunger
but if they question and think for a second longer
they will come to conclude that it only feeds the emptiness
growing and growing to devour the last speck
of their human race
that they hold no control, rather control holds them
controlled by the very tree they murdered to destroy humanity
a paper with symbols and numbers worth
more than their souls 
and for this reason, i cannot say
the brightest star in the sky
cannot compare to you my
darling, for the stars have long gone and died
for only darkness now resides.
