Earth, Clay, and I
Earth, Dust, and You
Earth, Clay, and I
Earth, Dust, and You
Everything is acquired through the soil
Everybody is produced as a result of its toil
Earth inculcates every body with transience
Omnipotence is a whimsical potter
Be aware of how Omnipotence designs your interments
Become aware of how Omnipotence is designing your interment
Why do you believe persuavie fabrications are the mistake or
an oversight of Omnipotence?
Alas, egotistical earthling! Admit and versify that your persuasions
are nothing but fabrications
Grip this Earth close to your heart
And publicly recognize that foundational line, “I accept
this Earth and assent to this land of mine.”
Earth, Clay, and I
Earth, Dust, and You
Earth, Clay, and I
Earth, Dust, and You
The Earth lays to rest one’s body
Then Earth embraces you
Every musical instrument makes new melodies
At this point in time there is an abundance of songs
Every song will touch one’s heart, if only with a little
affection
Through one’s reflection.
Why persist tightening your reigns on Omnipotence? Wherefore
this foolishness of yours?
Er! Make this Earth part and parcel of your soul! This
aversion of yours to doing so is redundant.
I accept this Earth and assent to this land of mine!
Earth, Clay, I
Earth, Dust, You
Earth, Clay, I
Earth, Dust, You
Earth lays to rest our bodies
The Earth embraces us.
