Sun and Dark

Man has invented many,
Among them was light to rid the darkness.
Today, I see people in merry,
Laughing, talking and living in glee.
Tonight, the light has become blinding; no more do I find it soothing.

There are those worshiped as celestial embodiments; few realize they are beneath the highest powers.
They do shine in the night, but people forget the source of their might.
They use the sun, and are less noble than they have become.
Not all are guilty of a sin, but are guilty to be revered more than they are to be.
Today, I see less of the sun and more of the rest,
And so, I choose to remain in the dark.
