The Sun Is Trembling As It Slowly Fades

The sky is cloudless, coral after rain
A mad outburst as sudden as a rage
The sun is trembling as it slowly fades

 

Our people too are troubled and in pain
Where ever shall we find a trusted sage?
The sky is cloudless coral after rain

 

Each side  holds the other in disdain
No conversation. nobody’s engaged
The sun is trembling as it slowly fades


The suicidal kingdom’s  past remains.
The Empire a delusion  of  the age
The sky is cloudless, coral, after rain

The erudite  have no words to explain
What  produced the elemental change
The sun is shaking as it slowly fade

 

Fearing loss  we gather on the stage
There is  no  doubt  the leaders are deranged
The sky is cloudless, coral after rain
The sun is watching  as we slowly fade
