Long Live the Sun

Long Live the Sun

The Sun is dead!

Its subjects, now hapless,

we scour the Earth

for daybreak or twilight.

Long live the Sun.

Long live the people

who worshipped the sun,

foliage spoiled.

Long live the Sun.

Long live the seas,

the plants, the animals

cultivated by fools.

Long live the sun.

So live us, the Many,

blindly taking for granted

what is so freely given.

Long live the Sun.

Warmed, gifted, and bathed

in an unpromised light,

short, we are destined.

Long live the Sun!
