Three Sunny Demons


The sun fades- clouds darken the sky.
Some souls are filled with demons.
Others enjoy the darkness.
Some souls bond the darkness with the evil.

Happy faces are usually around-
especially when the sun is out.
People are distressed when it rains.

Never a thought entering the minds of
‘happy’ people (when the sun is out) that
others are ‘happy’ people when it rains.
The others may be sad when the earth is bright.

Vultures, seagulls, and politicians are
all full of greed when the sun is out.

Our peace should come when it rains.
For only a few of us it does.
We hope that peace would remain in the light
a few days after the rain has stopped-
because vultures, seagulls, and politicians are
still wet and cannot ‘fly off the handle’.
Nor, would they be able to have little ‘droppings’.

Why compare vultures, seagulls, and politicians?
What’s this have to do with
‘sunny’, happy people or ‘rainy’, sad people?
Nothing to you or something to someone.

Maybe you need to realize that for those
‘sunny’, happy people- their fear is
the lightning bolt in the thunder storm.

But to us ‘rainy’ people- we’re never sad.
We’re only happy that we have no fears.
No fear of the brightness on earth, nor
being afraid of getting wet.
We enjoy the sun and the rain because
our actions are not those of
vultures, seagulls, and politicians.
