Husbandry
Husbandry of the earth
is not a monogamous issue
it cannot be a polygamous thing
polyandry, it is not at all
try monogamy war spring up
attempt polygamy, mistrust rises
bring polyandry, rivalry embitters
self-interest husbands the earth
and earth is spouse of jealous men
men who hold spears and arrows
and dig trenches of war
as their share of interest
looks threatened
Destiny of earth as spouse
is ashes and charcoal
