Sun

Beam from a spherical body;
Formed by divine hands,
Travel down towards the earth 
in rays;
Landing on men's thin lined 
epidermis,
Exerting its strength on their 
skins,
Thus, making them make 
noises;
Ranging from shrieks to 
screams.  
In their screams, they cursed 
the sun saying;
Oh Sun! May thou loose thy 
brightness,
And may thy shape be lost; let 
it be square.
Look at the scourge you have 
given to us,
It has colored our light skins; 
making it black.

Beautiful poem, Bulus. The Sun is indeed wondrous for many reasons, and it blesses us with its presence. Deeply expressed, and enjoyable overall. Check out some of mine.
