A Dying Horse
It's been a while since I've been here
What do you think I'm doing?
Except moving around and picking nothing.
Everything is gone, and these remaining lies
Will fail to survive this life
But evil is always a citizen in every loose heart.

Clouds call cows home,
Rivers and the soil feed our grass and trees.
Like husbands and wives,
fertilizers are husbands of our soil.
Snakes and humans be friends now!
Sweet air and lovely fields be cool
Till the ploughing of the ages re-occurs.

Eloise and floods your chances are gone,
Thunderstorms and lightnings call goats home,
And a barking dog bites nobody.
Oceans are, but no friends
So, my soul I pray, in this coming world be safe.
