Sun Worshipper

I am a sun worshipper

You are a sun worshipper.

I believe, you believe

The sun is the source of all life

-fathering energy,

The green of a leaf

The white of a cloud

The song of the bird on the wing.

You believe, I believe

That the mashing of atoms in the sun’s fiery heart

Is the only Godhead worth the anointing

The only reason I am, you are, we are

That the sun will one day consume his children

And then die in the only death that matters

The one that brings forth no life again.

I believe

That sunspots are holy,

The face of the Divine.

But you believe

That the flares of the Corona

Are the only true expression

Of the sun’s incandescent grace.

So I will burn you at the stake, heretic

Before you can cut my head off.
