Listen To the Sun
Ignorance is bliss or so they say
But I was enlightened in a colorful way
In a silent conversation with our old friend
The sun told me this at yesterdays' end
He was glowing dark red in an angry display
For the constant pollution while we worked and played
Blended red and yellow showing orange disgust
A colorful sign of his negative distrust
Then passionate red for the love he shares
An approving gesture he thinks we still care
His friendship was kissed with a touch of pink
Reminding us all to stop and think
A moody dark purple of sadness and gloom
Fair warning try harder or we'll all be doomed
Then splashes light purple for days gone by
Feeling nostalgic for clear blue skies
As his dark blue of power turned to black
Leaving hope for tomorrow that he'd be back
Now that I've told you of all I have learned
Don't you think we should all be more seriously concerned
If you don't believe me and still wear a frown
Then tomorrow just listen as the sun goes down
