Fertility

Fertility

Fertility

My land to the tillers
My home to the killers
My wealth to the gangsters
My flesh to the mongers
But not my hidden seeds
And not my wholesome beds
Nor secret sacred funds
Nor ash remainders


Oh tacit soul
Forgive them all
Oh jugular vein
Mind not if slain
Close

Fertility

My land to the tillers
My home to the killers
My wealth to the gangsters
My flesh to the mongers
But not my hidden seeds
And not my wholesome beds
Nor secret sacred funds
Nor ash remainders


Oh tacit soul
Forgive them all
Oh jugular vein
Mind not if slain

Fertility
