Around the world people said good night
They crawled into bed and turned off the light
When they woke up they couldn’t see
They found their clock and it read 9:03
The sun should’ve risen by now
Confusion was enough to raise a brow
Stumbling towards the TV and turning it on
The news was saying there wouldn’t be a dawn
Fear spread quickly throughout homes
As the world slowly went monochrome
No one knew why the sun went away
Though most assumed it was the beginning of Doomsday
In truth the sun was crestfallen
The world was attacking itself, caving all in
People hated one another
Hurting their sister and brother
The sun was sad people turned this way
It couldn’t bear to watch and had to stay away
It vowed to only return when the violence would end
When people wouldn’t fight or destroy the earth, and promise to make amends

I promise to make amends! Come back sun i love you!!! Oh wait… sometimes I get to immersed in the poem 😅😅
Haha, well I’m glad this had enough vibes imagery for that! Thanks for the comment Demar.
Clever and cute it's personification of the sun gives it a storybook feel. Should the sun go away we wouldn't know for eight minutes, the time it takes light and gravity from it to reach us. At which point we would fly out of orbit and freeze. A fun read
Thank you for the comment and support Soren. Yes that is the scary thing that most things in space don’t reveal themselves until a while after it’s already happened
You are most welcome
