Earth Tithes

From the beginning to the end, Earth tithes. Round the circle of eternity, she writhes. Seemingly full, ripe, and undeniably free, O God, be merciful to she. Filling receptacle with such riches untold. A harvest, a bounty, rare beauty enfolds. Spreading love not greed is our Creators one decree O God, be merciful to she. Go form trusting companionships by the score, let go of all avarice, hunger no more, Feast on the comfort of kindnesses just be. O God, be merciful to she.

The most reasonable tithe that I can fathom at this moment is the giving of our bodies back to the earth when our Passing has commenced - J.A.B. %
