Silly Little Moon Poem by Thomas King

You envy me so
With all of your might
You want to steal all my warmth
And extinguish my light

You covet my power
And my celestial role
You want to replace me
With all your heart and soul

You yearn for the control
Over the mornings and day
Your greed for more time
Has lead you astray

You try to block me out
Every couple of years
Unable to completely do so
It brings you to tears

You obsess over my fame
You detest all my praise
You despise my allure
And my warm loving rays

Void of any beauty
You feel dead and cold
Stories of your greatness
Will never be told

Forever chasing the day
You're bound to the night
You will never be happy
Till you're the only one on sight

Your quest to seize the day
Is useless and in vain
You're stuck in your own orbit
That feeds your jealousy and pain

Your chance of replacing me as a star
Won't be coming soon
For I'm the life giving sun
Silly little moon....
