Who knows where the heart
Of ever hungry earth is?
Who can follow his
Pulse and take us to his breath?
Who can? Who can? Who can? Who?
II
Who knows where the heads
Of the glutton earth relax?
Who can follow his
Chewings and lead us to those
Mouths? Who can? Who can? Who can?
III
Don’t stand there wailing!
The earth has taken what’s ours
And we must have it
Or fight for our peaceful minds
Who is with me? Who will? Who?
IV
I have a few words:
Selective, reflexive taunt!
Why do you so haunt?
And what? Take, break, leave to flaunt?
So we serve a bounty dish?
V
You are so, so cruel
Why do you feed what you eat
You show you in us
And we follow your trap’s lead
Only to end as your catch
