More Than Dirt

It was it's own little world in it's day But in this time forty acres not much Old house and out buildings hauled away Just something to plow around treated as such What once was here the plow can't touch A tear in the dirt a cry in the wind As the big field machine move now Dust sting my face when the plow begin As if to say you should not allow More than dirt went under the plow
