People Can Be So Silly...

People can be so silly,

Misjudging the clear things and simple –

Saying magical things do not matter, and saying the sun is a lantern.

They say that the stars in heaven, if shining too late past seven,

Get in their way of rest

And should be turned off – that’s best,

They tell you, “Much better would be

To have a pill, makes you wooden,

Why rattle the soul and its calm?

It’s simpler if feelings don’t come.”

A strange and peculiar matter,

For the sun just isn't a lantern.


Unknown poetess
