Counting the Stars

from pittsburgh, ohio by Bill White

/

lyrics

counting the stars
giving them names
once you count to 100
the other hundreds are the same

we are drowning in numbers
1000 a day
once you count to 1000
the other thousands are the same

6 million died in death camps
anonymous skin and bones
6 died in an earthquake
each epitaph is known

covid killed 6 million
1000 every day
once you count 1000
the other thousands are the same

complacency in numbers
when the numbers get too high
if billions die in total war
will the numbers nullify

the weight of human suffering
that suffocates the heart
will we stop counting at 100
as we count the falling stars
