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.
