Analysis of Thank The Son

Ronald-Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)



The sun is like God.
He gives us power,
He's so bright, we cower,
Yet we can't tell
When it's our last hour.
It's dawn, I want tea.
It's day, let's play.
At sunset, eat dinner.
It's night, sleep tight.
Are our bio rhythms
Boring until we're gone?
If the sun were void
We would be destroyed.
There's so much evil
Yet we’re a beautiful flower.
