You think haughty
Nature thinks you are naughty
You sail from the tail
You head for the head
Nature needs you led
Your ego bloats
Nature blows away your ego
You exalt in pride
Nature humbles your pride to fall
You rise from the doldrums
You rise and you fall
And you lament:
“Me ampa ara na me nie?”
“Oh why me?”
What goes up must tumble down
With a thump!
You train a boy a way to go
A boy harvests a way to go
If it was hard at training
Then it’s easy on the field
You run a ball to a wall
You run from a ball from a wall
And you shout:
“Oh God why me?”
What goes round
Always comes round
You deny the portion to the poor
Nature slams the door to your storehouse
You pour out to the poor from your storehouse
Nature pours more into your storehouse
What goes round must be found back
The cow never begets a sow
The mango tree never yields an avocado
This you must know
Before you sow
Your cup overflows
Because you filled their cup
Your wounds heal
Because you healed their hurts
You are comforted
Because you empathized with them
You are all smiles
Because you exported a smile
You reap joy
Because you sowed joy
You stand tall
Because you helped them all to crawl
And to walk
Nature breaks you
If nature’s laws you break
Nature outlaws you
If nature’s laws you ignore
Nature rejects you
If nature’s laws you neglect
Nature hollers
If nature’s laws you forsake
For selfish intent
Nature protests
If nature’s laws you put to the test
Just to impress
Now nature exhorts:
“Ignorance cannot excuse your frequent abuse”
What you sow
Nature grows
Easy it comes
Easy it goes
Harder it comes
Harder it goes
What you reap
That may make you weep
What you reap
That may make you smile
From ear to ear
From year to year
