A Longer Leg Than a Leg
You and I are God-made male mortals
Mortals with two ordinary legs
Legs I use to jump, move, run and walk
Walk on my unique way
Way that satisfies me sentimentally
Sentimentally to duck destruction and death
Death, self-destruction and annihilation of homes
Homes destroyed by that men’s uncontrolled limb
Limb naturally productive but artificially destructive
God created one man with two legs and a shorter one
A spur to paddle into a neighbor’s food
Food unique to the owner
Men, let us educate our boughs
