All the World is His

 

Each day brings spring showers
the promise of tomorrow
Each tree leaf and flower
all, oddly, make it darker

What will the owner do
for me and, also, you?

Rain’s great for his fruit trees
he’s loving every truckload
but rainfall rots rooftops
and rust is gathering under

What will the owner do
for me and, also, you?

No matter where you go
the owner owns it, too

The ends of the owner:
he hollows out stockpiles
The enemy’s hopeless
and followers sorrow

What will the owner do
for me and, also, you?

No matter where you go
the owner owns it, too

He can do what he wants with all of it because
all of this is his
