When a flower dies
It cries for no more water
When an animal dies
It cries for no more shelter
And when a man dies
He cries for not one woman
And when a man dies
He cries for not one dollar
When a man dies
He cries for no more sanity
Life goes on
Creating more
Than it can ever feed
The eons pass
Boring more
Than it will ever need
But the future
Is forever
And that gives us time
To decide
To abide
To make up
Our unfulfilled minds
I reached endlessly upward
And grabbed the heaven
Brought it down
From the sky
And gave a little piece
To every person living
I spread the heaven
On
In
And through-out
The land
Grew grass
Trees
And people
On the lifeless white sand
