Pasture

A tree is an invasive

species

in a cleared

and cut grassland

A pasture

that was put

to right

by the shoulder

of hard work

Should not be

lost without cost

to a neglecting

and forgetting

inheritor

The barrier

to a just world

is just the absence

of any continuance

That would bring

a completion

to the work

of the hands

That a man

gives to a land

and a world

that rejects it

uncaring and uninterested.
