A beautiful, bright sunset
Lighting up the sky with vibrant shades
The sunset brings peace
The colors fill others with joy
Even the ocean is jealous and chooses to reflect the light
People stop,
Take pictures
Watch in awe
As the sun gives everything it has before resting for the night
But the secrets the sun holds could end worlds
What the sun has seen would move mountains in fear
The sun knows what the earth she protects has endeared
She sees what the humans do to one another
She watches families die
Families tear apart
She is dying out
The colors are dulling in the sky
The sun is trying to shine bright like she once did
But the world is filling with grey
The ocean is no longer jealous, no longer reflects
People don't stop
People don't take pictures
They ignore her,
They look past the sun
Blame the sun for humans' touch
The sun will die, she will explode, but not in this lifetime
So why does it matter if she is burning out

It seems a message from this poem that people in their selfishness only care about themselves in the here and now not the future and they take the beauty of the moment and forget the impact of the past and the threat of the future. Well written
