A poem for class.

---

One does not need colors

To see the moon

It is the sun

Which sheds more than shade

After all, the moon is but a reflection

A fake reality

Stealing light from the sun

And calling it its own

Yet it is too often we turn from the sun

And focus on the moon

Warm and bright the sun reaches

Out to us and we don’t see it

Because we are too busy staring

At a thief called Moon

The sun’s gesture is one looming question

We don’t take the time to answer

No, it is the moon we care about

It is the moon we love

Ignorant are the souls who place their hearts

In the sun, we say

It is a glow that lights the dark

We place our trust in

Forgetting about the creator of the lighted crescent

We praise and glorify

To be the sun

Lighting up a world that doesn’t care

It is a world that has important things to worry about

More important things to do

Clean the clothes, cook the meal

Go to school, earn the pay

Much more important than the sun

Lighter of our universe
