What Should Say

And what, other than a God, should say
why days begin and nights enfold? 

Could any sun, rightly, determine such a 
bright thing, 

with his blushing moon, while on a typical
night-fling? Perhaps a depth-sea, on a map flat, 
bragging lifts of surf its tides, should determine where
and when, day rises or hides? 

Maybe continents of mighty slips and slides, 
would sufficiently declare if day lights~ thus 
illuminatingly abides?

Independent of a God could man learn to reign
totally Free, each his own crucifixion
then clemency? Best that a God continues to keep all course, 
determining when light to dark is lost.  Myself included
judged by degree~ how Fahrenheit or centigrade a soul’s 
eternity.
