Earth

Oh earth!
Your belly is sweet 
Upon our soul's 
You are full of kindness
Fiend to none
Friend to all

Friend and foe
You cuddle 
Water you guzzle 
When it drizzles you puddle 
When you clap it quakes, rumbles

Your dentures are sharper than lion's fangs
Your stomach is larger than life
Your sword of justice is in your hands 
Racism, segregation and corruption are alien to you
You have silk-stocking folks for dinner
Impercunious soul's for lunch
Sposh for breakfast 
Coal as appetizer

Oh mother earth!
The earth is yours
And it's fullness thereof.
