Slowly reaching towards the heavens
Like so many of us with our lofty thoughts
As they reach up they provide shade and comfort
To those below
While we drag others along as if we must
They spread wide their arms and embrace all
While we cling to what belongs to us
They allow rest for the weary
We drive to the brink of exhaustion
And then continue on
They fill the sky with life and movement
We take and use and consume and destroy
They root to the earth in collaboration
While we command and conquer
We have so much to learn from them
It is a shame we burn them to be
A shame we consume them to prosper
While they give to us from what they have to give
And have enough to last with dignity
Until life collapses under the burden of taxation
Caused by corruption and condemnation
We are majesty
And They are Majestic All the While
