The meek and mighty moon
The proud and bright sun said to the moon
Your job is trivial and will be of no use soon
So spend less time on earth
They hardly need the tiny light you birth
The moon in it’s meekness said nothing to the sun
And the sun in it’s pride took it as a shun
So the sun said
During your time down there
You shall garner approval from all of them, the big and the small, the short and the tall, the fat and the thin, the dark and the fair
You will garner approval from everything and everyone
If you cannot garner enough when your time is done
Then you will leave the earth for me to reign
But if you can then you are free to stay
And a prize will come your way
The sky turned red
And the sun slowly set
And the stars scattered round
Like eyes looking down
The moon appeared to watch all the night affairs
To shine light where it can
And mock the darkness and it’s plans
The heavenly bodies, the stars and the moon
Called out to the ones down here to rest soon
So when the sun rose
The moon left in peace and with prizes
Knowing that it’s job is not trivial
And has successfully garnered all possible approval
