Six Feet Above

Today the earth is pleasant Last night, I slept with the half-moon Looking down to a wary peasant Working so to grab a spoon Today the earth is spherical Tomorrow, I'd be buried six feet above It's a nasty place, but not cynical We always pray to the one above Forever, the earth is generous To contain the living amongst the dead Killing for a plot is dangerous We only get six feet, when we windup dead.
