Bend down and touch all those who feed you
Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, grannies, cousins, goats and sheep
Consumed, exhumed, excreted
No one stands, not contributing, forever

Concentrated creature compost
No one stands, not contributing, forever
The dead decayed to nurture the living

Concentrated creature compost
People move in soil
The dead decayed to nurture the living
Tread carefully

People move in soil
Consumed, exhumed, excreted
