Builder and Sun

In a city where buildings reach for the sky,
There lived Builder, hard-working, brave and smart.
He built tall structures, strong and beautiful,
But he always remained in the shadows, no one knew his name.

One morning when Sun rose and shone brightly,
Builder looked at the sky and thought for a moment.
"Sun, you shine over the whole world with great power,
And I build houses, but I always remain in the shadow!"

Sun smiled and said humbly:
"You build cities, you build housing, you create comfort,
Your hands create the space where people live,
And I give only light that illuminates results of your work!"

Builder nodded with inspiration and continued to work,
Because he realized that everyone in this world plays a role.
Sun shines, giving light to people,
And Builder creates homes where people can live and dream.

In such a simple way for many-many years
Capitalists were delaying the communist revolution.
Marx and Lenin have long since rotted in their graves,
And the fooled workers continued to repeat
All sorts of nonsense after shameless propagandists.
