Poetic Verses
Takers
From the dawn of time the people came;
one and all, never the same;
to work, to fetch and to need,
to love to hate and even bleed
And to this day they come still;
to reap from the soil from which they till
Some are alone and some in pair
Some obtuse and some aware
The people March to their own drum
They know not why and yet they come
They take from the earth and from the sun
They take from others, everyone
They gather all of which they need,
then take some more out of greed
The love they beg, but only borrow;
to leave others weeping in their sorrow
Necessities to life sustain
Emotion shown just to drain;
and leave laughing when they go;
from mother earth and soul they hoe;
to drain from life unsuspecting,
leaving not a seed for resurrecting
