Earth the Beast
The earth is like a giant beast
From setting west to rising east
The wind is its breath, keeping it alive
Without it, we could not survive
Water is its blood, coursing with strength
Grass is its hair, growing in length
Earth is its hide, shielding it so
Fire is passion
Love, from what I know
And the heart of this magnificent beast
Is the people who reside on it
From setting west
To rising east
