Earth
The reigning monarchs hammered Earth
decided since my time of birth.
Ne'er so ~ the country stood its girth
in deprivation's underskirt!
Not owning, as the lien's turf
was solely living as reserve
that all beneath was seized by nerve
and I now walk on grass conserve!
There be it all ~ the Earth owns Earth
and I in question , only worth
that risk of time called latent serve,
so late of rhyme, I now observe ~
Defenseless, but of God deserve
my being's rights ~ not laws that curve!
