Sun Shines On the Righteous
The cheerful day could be bright and illuminate all,
but many don't feel the sun's warmth that offers life;
the night could be darker than the ink of a scroll,
but many don't see in darkness the repose of strife.
Such are the insidious thoughts of the unrighteous
that feel intimidated by a creation so stupendous.
The righteous are thankful for the spiritual light
shining on them when they confront animosity;
what they see inside is a conscience of sheer purity,
that sense of peaceful awareness without any blight.
The unrighteous always seeks power in money to rule,
gold is much more desirable than other metal they fuse;
when hearts choose darkness over light, their reason is
based on greed and vanity that loom in thick shadows.
This conflict is seen worldwide: goodness struggles against evil,
armies conquer lands, not hearts that believe in righteousness;
only God can defeat mighty empires that oppose His laws and kill,
wisdom is acquired through faith: it's His gift of loving kindness.
