The world will spin, seas surge,
Stars will shine, moon glow,
Grass will grow, rivers flow,
Will you be mine down the years?
Snow will fall, flowers bloom,
Birds will sing, peacock dance,
Winds will whistle, rain pour,
Will you be mine down the years?
Wars we’ll fight, blood we’ll spill,
Tears we’ll drop, foes we’ll kill,
Eves we’ll rape, kids we’ll abuse,
Will you be mine down the years?
Trees we’ll cut, hills we’ll level,
Fields we’ll fill, streams we’ll dam,
Herds we’ll hunt, land we’ll denude,
Will you be mine down the years?
Goods we’ll hoard, prices we’ll hike,
Food we’ll poison, buyers we’ll loot,
Taxes we’ll dodge, profit we’ll reap,
Will you be mine down the years?
Bombs we’ll make, borders we’ll close,
Bridges we’ll break, fences we’ll build,
States we’ll threaten, mines we’ll plant,
Will you be mine down the years?
Hungry won’t be fed, nor clothed,
Sick won’t be treated, nor housed,
Urchins won’t be bathed, nor tutored,
Will you be mine down the years?
Wash away my sins in holy water,
Wrap me in white and sing a dirge,
Burn me before Trump tweets,
Words, trust you’ll carry the torch.
