Sun and Moon

Today, I have finished. Tonight, your hunger is diminished. Now, your anguish has been eradicated. Emancipated. Liberated. Your way of life is completed, Your way of strife is defeated, Like the rising sun, I shined down on your world, A life of ignorance, a life you so quickly hurled, And like the sun, I had exposed your vices, I have shown you that charity suffices Loving, worshiping, and making sacrifices Lasting throughout the ages, His message is now complete And His promise fulfilled Has He ever sent you a message leading you to deceit? And His promise was never killed I am leaving you shortly, Lost, you will never be, but rather quite courtly Leaving you with the Book of signs and wonders A fiery law to shake your enemies like thunder Lastly I leave behind my successor A wise young man, a Master He will be your example and a mercy in the upcoming disaster Men of the world, he will succeed me as the moon succeeds the Sun Under a starless night, when darkness has begun He will be shine down on you with my light A night, where the only light will be his Managing the dark world with a light so dim Ending this period of day is a period of night Death in the air, a fire about to ignite Resting amongst you, he will be a man of peace A man of courage, whose eloquence will only increase Stopping only when his time is at cease Underneath the dagger, he will decease Loved by the Lord and so pleased And in that dark night my light will never disappear Lost in the clouds the moon will only reappear Light in the sky, it will forever help the community All has been promised in His book of Immunity His message forever complete, forever in purity
