THE SUN’S LESSON

Once,

There was a sun

Whose light went off

Any time he saw its moon

Like all females

The moon complained

And threatened looking for another sun

Whose sun could melt her light in glowing togetherness

III

Still, the sun’s light went off

It knew not its problem

But knew he could shine

One day, a strange thing happened

His light stood on throughout

Day and night until its moon got tired

And started complaining

But the sky who saw it all, shut her up

It was a test

To test the sun and teach him a lesson

Whatever one does, tongues will wag

Whatever one does enemies will thrive

We are like chameleons of ingratitude

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)
