The Sun

As the sun rises in the east

It brings light to the inhabitants below

And moves slowly from east to west

Passing over

Young lovers walking hand in hand

Some are marrying

Parting

A mother giving birth

Death of a loved one

Happiness

Sadness

Laughter

Children begging

Learning

A thief heading home with his catch

Someone is taking a life

Snuffing it out like a candle

Great men sitting around the table

Planning how to protect their country

Others sit and plan military moves

To grasp what is not theirs

Wars are being fought

Lies are being told

Secrets revealed

Eating

Starving

Running

Walking

If the sun could talk

Reveal its secrets

As is slowly sets in the west

Only to rise again in the east
