Why do the stars look very different today?

I haven’t noticed you lately
Given that you’re hidden
Behind the curtains
Of the fingers of rain.
Its been so long,
That your brightness
Caused me to wonder
At how special you really are.
We all have gone into some sort of eclipse,
Hidden inside our own darkness
Waiting for rescue
By the casting of.our votes
That we may sparkle
Look like you do now
Having liberated yourself.
