The Moon or The Sun

Who is more beautiful?

The moon or the sun?

One’s radiance blinds us all,

One’s the ruler of nightfall.

One’s so bright the stars need to hide,

One believes in harmony and the stars stand by its side.

One harms by looking it in the eye,

One poets preach to be the most beautiful being in the night sky.

But who are we to forget?

That the moon wouldn’t be a pretty sight,

If the sun wasn’t the one sharing its light,

That if the moon was the only celestial being up there,

Our world would be filled with cold and despair.

So is the moon truly innocent and pure?

And does the sun really have a fury with no care?

Isn’t the moon a thief of beauty?

And isn’t the sun the origin of beauty?

So who is more beautiful?

The moon or the sun?

I have arguments many, but answers none.
