What Was More Than a Clash



Were you the one who could not stand your own dignity?
Were you the one who could be left with a bountiful life, yet starve?
You can not be alarmed, do not be starved, for the sun if coming by the horizons, slicing the sky into shards.
"Be not afraid, I shall be your false idol" the sun bellowed.
In this moment, I knew it was wrong, and I wouldn’t last.
