Poetry

"Thou must die"
said the Sun to the Earth.
"Why must I die?"
asked the Earth.
"For thou art wicked,
and must be punished for thy crimes",
replied the Sun
as it turned from the Earth's gaze.
The Earth was cast into darkness.
Even though it was said
that the darkness would not overcome the light.
But it did
and the darkness ruled supreme
as Earth's denizens
cried out as the Sun hid
and they began to freeze.

"Thou must die"
said the Sun.
