Cycle

The poor are rich in heart,
the rich are rich in art,
the dead can sleep all day
and the living work their lives away.

The brothers clench their fists,
the sisters clutch their pearls,
the young'n's take big risks
while the elder flag unfurls.

The boys are off to war,
the girls plant the gardens,
the enemy is here no more
and in time their crimes are pardoned.
