Sun ablaze looked down Etched in his yellow face was a frown An emotion passed, escaped in a pout For which this poem is about
Wind, cool and easy, noticed him Asked him why the sky was so dim He replied with a voice like cream "Oh, I wish this was all a dream"
"Sun cannot dream, not even a small one" Replied Wind, who started to frown "Look here, Sun, look down Look at the people, in hunger they drown"
"Shine your rays on their thirsty plants Give them what you can in every way Share your warmth, shine in the bay Please, oh please, let them see the day!"
"Alas, I cannot," Sun said "I cannot shine anymore even when they're all dead Just see, Wind, see what they have done To my world, my world that's only one!"
"Look at them thrashing my plants Look at them eating my cows Aren't they contented for what they have? Look at me, you have to understand!"
Wind was not convinced She insisted that he should rinse The darkness that ruled for three years She said she loved her very own dears
"Well, you go shine on them" Sun said very coldly "I cannot do any more, I'm sorry I will not and never, please forgive me"
"Why?" asked Wind in great reply "Why do you have to let them die? Why do you make them sigh? Or let them look hopefully to the sky?"
"They're relying on you I know you know it, too Please let them see you, please do Don't let them see only blue"
Sun replied in deep anger "I do not want to, any longer Nature cries, do you not know? Look at them, you'll understand how!
I don't care if they rely on me I don't want them asking for rays Leave me, if you want to see the days Leave me or the high price you'll pay"
Then he drove Wind out of his sight Planting in her was a great deep fright She never again tried with all her might To convince Sun who let rule the Night
Now you see what will happen If we let Nature cry Help Sun to shine again Help Sun not to be mistaken
Cry of Nature, we can hear today Do not let it be louder if you may Do not be led astray Do not let it be the price to pay

Um, there's so much going on in this poem that I don't even remember writing. Basically, it's an advocacy to save nature. That's it.
It's also the first time I've tried this sort of story-telling in the poem and I don't know if it turned out good or not. Haha.
So, what do you think? Comment below. :))
