The empire on which the sun never sets

The sun will never set on (me)dia.

It is the sun, the land, the colonizer and the colonized. 

As the sun, it makes its way around the world, lighting up faces and providing relief from the dark. 

As the land, it holds up our societies and births our resources, providing a base both feeble and strong. 

As the colinizer, it infiltrates, controlling and possessive, giving us a price to pay for connection. 

As the colinized, it’s here for the taking and it’s up to you what you will make of it.
