The sun shines brightly
upon the skin of a woman
slowly tanning her

Without empathy
the sun scorches a desert
Blazing light on sand

An ocean grows hotter
polar ice caps are melting
The tides grow higher

The sun does not care
Its rays strangle the darkness
Leaving heat and light

Under a sun that gives life
We perish from its ample rays
