The Sun
Sun
The sun shines on all without discrimination
How doomed human beings
Might be if God created the sun
To give its riddance only to
Those judged deserving or
Decides those who to give
Its light and those its heat
But no, the sun was created in such
A way that it does not care
Neither who we are nor how
We live; even the use to which
We put its light and its heat
The sun simply radiates
Impersonally with no judgment
Visited upon the recipients.
Frugality it does not know
Stinginess it is unable to comprehend
The sun gives us generously
As roses give out their flagrance
Unselfishly.
We take as much as we want
Of the sun and use it as we please
To grow our crops, dry our clothes,
Develop thermal energy, etc
A lesson this is to human beings
To be unselfish with God’s endowment
But to give to others without restrain
