Under the Bottom

Down below
The fire is burning; 
Over the top
The wind is howling.

Beneath the ground
The earth is shaking; 
Up in the sky
The birds are flying.

Deep in the ocean
The current is strong; 
On the earth's surface
The road is long.

Across the floor
A pet dog does crawl; 
At the ceiling
A lizard doesn't fall.

Mountain's summit
Takes away pain; 
Plants in the fields
Thirst for the rain.

Kings rule
Their respective nation; 
Slaves suffer
From severe persecution.

Masters command
With utter authority; 
Servants obey
With sheer humility.

Head and heels
Cover the column; 
Feet are standing
Under the bottom.
