Free of Cost

We have the world all to ourselves, free of cost We own everything on and above the earth, Abundant food and the water and milk to drink, And gold nuggets sprout from deep earth for us And the richest of diamonds and precious ores. They are there for you and me. So worry not. But sit back and inhale the cool breeze, the air The One has cleansed of toxic fumes and smoke And the bees bring you honey from flowers And heavenly perfumes and colors of Paradise. Man claims he makes all these and struts earth As though he bought them on his own bourse. Or elsewhere from his hard earned cash or loot. He is paranoid: some day he might lose all these He has to defend against enemies unseen, unheard And he ends barricading against himself in despair.
