Sonnet: The Sun King

T H E    S U N    K I N G



Once there was a time where all creatures felt

Anger and disdain among their own kin.

It was a time where strong friendships would melt,

And a good man's conscience flooded with sin.

The Almighty wore black throughout this age

Of wicked seas and treacherous plateaus.

Farewell to daylight, and welcome to rage,

For the day has come where tragedy grows.

But do not fret, for a darker night makes

For a brighter day in which the birds sing.

Sounds of waterfalls and natural lakes

Summon great optimism in the Sun King.

            As the days grow short, and the nights grow long

            Remember your sense of right and wrong.
